General Diagnosis - Compact Disc

COMPACT DISC (CD) SKIP
The Compact Disc (CD) player has a shock-absorbing system. Only under extreme operating temperatures or severe shock or vibration should the compact disc player skip or mute. If the customer travels an abnormally rough road, a skip condition may be normal. Test drive the vehicle on a normal road with a known good CD. If the condition is still present, replace the CD player.

COMPACT DISC (CD) PLAYER ERROR OR EJECTS
^ Inspect the CD for scratches or smudges and clean it if necessary.
^ Verify that the CDs and or CD magazine are being loaded correctly.
^ Verify that the compact disc player door is closed.
^ During periods of high humidity the CD or the CD player lens may become temporarily fogged. Allow the CD player and CDs warm up in order to dissipate the moisture.
