CIRCUIT OPERATION
If the vehicle speed signal is transmitted via the multi-center display to the radio, tape player, CD player and CD auto changer, sound volume will be changed.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)
If the multi-center display operates normally, the cause is probably a faulty multi-center display to vehicle speed sensor circuit.

NOTE: The vehicle speed signal is shared by the MFI system, automatic transaxle, combination meter. If a problem is not resolved, observe the troubleshooting. (Refer to Diagnosis (Computers/Testing) Automatic Transaxle Diagnosis.)

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
- Damaged harness wire or connector.
- Malfunction of the vehicle speed sensor.
- Malfunction of the multi-center display.
- Malfunction of the radio, tape player, CD player or CD auto changer.
