      (2) Inspect H/U/AMP/Cable
      1. AMP
      (External AMP)
      1. Check AMP (External amp)
        1. Review defect
          1. Check amp battery and ACC voltage (9V - 16V) → Vehicle issue if unable to read voltage
          2. Check audio output → Amp issue if no audio output - Check speaker impedance → If not normal, check wire/cable, speaker (disconnect the cable and test)

      (2) Inspect H/U/AMP/Cable
      2. Cable
      (External amp)
      1. Check cable (External amp)
        1. AMP ↔ H/U Line inspection
          1. MMCAN +/-: Check open/short using multi-meter
          2. SPDIF +/-: Check open/short using multi-meter
          3. NAVI +/-: Check open/short using multi-meter
            1. →Issue occurs (=Open) -> Cable wiring issue

      1. Check cable connection to H/U, AMP and mid connector

        *Check amp connector (For external amp)

        *Check if mid connector is present and find location at the red mark

        *Check H/U connector

        1. Check connection status of Part ↔ Connector
          1. Check noise by pulling cable a little
          2. Check for incorrect cable mounting
            1. →If issue continues, re-connect the cable and re-test
      (2) Check H/U/AMP/Cable
      4. Check for cable defect
      (Internal/External amp)
