SELF DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION
If an error occurs, the STANDBY LED will automatically begin to flash. The number of times the LED flashes translates to a probable source of the problem. A definition of the STANDBY LED flash indicators is listed in the instruction manual for the user’s knowledge and reference. If an error symptom cannot be reproduced, the remote commander can be used to review the failure occurrence data stored in memory to reveal past problems and how often these problems occur.
DIAGNOSTIC TEST INDICATORS
When an error occurs, the STANDBY LED will flash a set number of times to indicate the possible cause of the problem. If there is more than one error, the LED will identify the first of the problem areas. Result for all of the following diagnostic items are displayed on screen. If the screen displays a “0”, no error has occurred.

SONY TV SERVICE TIPS
SONY KV32XBR35
SHUT DOWN 
Unit will shut down each time the Remote
headphones circuit is turned on.
SOLUTION
Unit has an intermittent short to ground on the IR12 volt line located at the output of IC202(3-4) located on the "A" board. This short was caused by a solder splace on that circuit
SONY KV32V16
SHUT DOWN 
KV32V16 serial 7089163 Unit will not stay on. Goes into shut down immediately after turn on.
SOLUTION 
When HV comes up the signal at the Collector of the horizontal output transistor is normal. No shorts can be found in the power supply. PM501(1-810-061-21) & IC601. PM501 was to culprit in this case.
KV32XBR45
WEAK VIDEO
Sony KV32XBR45 Unit has a very faint picture But the OSD is fine. Problem shows up in the tuner and video input mode. Tech ordered Q401 but did not correct the symptom
SOLUTION
There is video at the base of Q401 but not at the emitter. Q401 measures 9 volts on all elements. Base must be 4.5 volts. Transistor is in cut off. Bases and emitter are the same 9 volts. Unit has open R617 a 680 ohm resistor.
