Hidden "load" button for CD-changer
There is a special button in the upper left corner that is used to load CDs into the optional 6-CD changer. It is present on ALL modular head units regardless of whether or not they have the changer installed! It's right under the trim that says "Compact Disc Digital Audio" and serves no purpose without the changer.
Diagnostic Test Mode
You can check for any trouble codes with a simple button sequence. Turn on the ignition power and press and hold the POWER button. Then press the AM and CLOCK buttons simultaneously for 2 seconds. The display will show any trouble codes on the display. Use the Seek buttons to scroll through them. Turn off the car to reset the unit back to normal.
This procedure also lets you see the maker of the modules installed, but only if there is a trouble code associated with it. The first two digits in the display identify the device in question - see the following table. The 6-CD disc numbers are used to show the supplier of a module (1 for FMS, 2 for Panasonic, and 3 for Clarion).
Device Code ---Part Name
00 ------ Casette Deck
03 ------ CD Player
05 ------ External CD Changer
06 ------ Internal CD Changer
07 ------ MD Player
09 ------ Base Head Unit
After the Device Code is a colon and the trouble code in the format, "Er10" (which means "communication line error"). Here's a general table of error codes:
Error Code--- Error Type ---Description
01 --- Insert/Eject Fault ---The device failed to insert or eject media.
02 --- Media Read Fault ---The device couldn't play/read the media.
03 --- Mechanism Fault ---The physical mechanism (reel/spindles) failed to function.
04 --- Media Fault --- The media is worn out.
07 --- Media Read Fault ---The device couldn't play/read the media.
10 --- Communication Fault ---Connectors or communication failed
20 --- Base Unit Power Fault ---Improper voltage detected.
22 --- Base Unit Fault
You can clear the codes by entering diagnostic mode and then pressing POWER and then AUDIO CONT (the other big button) for 2 seconds, but this is probably not something you should be doing. Instead, take a radio showing a trouble code to a dealer to get it fixed and let them clear the codes when it's done.
LCD Inspection
Turn on the audio. Press and hold POWER and then SEEK (top) for 1 second. This will light up all the elements of the LCD screen. Press POWER to reset it.

Turn on the audio. Press and hold POWER and then CLOCK for 1 second. Now each functioning button will beep when you press it. Press POWER to reset it.
Speaker Inspection
Turn on the audio. Press and hold POWER and then AUTO-M (bottom) for 1 second. Each speaker will sound in order, including the nonexistent rear speakers. Press POWER to reset it.
Radio Inspection
Turn on the audio. Select AM or FM. Press and hold POWER and then the number 2 button for 1 second. Tune to a station and look at the volume graph. A full graph means everything works, a half graph means no station is tuned, and a low graph means there is something wrong with the radio or antenna. Press POWER to reset it.
Power Antenna Inspection
Turn on the audio. Select AM or FM. Press and hold POWER and then AM for 1 second. "Ant-On" means the antenna works. Press POWER to reset it.
Bose Amplifier Inspection
Turn on the audio. Press and hold POWER and then SCAN (top) for 1 second. "AMP-On" means the amplifier works, "AMP-Of" means it doesn't. Press POWER to reset it.
