Got a Japan Cab Initial D version 3. The card reader in the system settings is saying its not connected. I checked connections on the actual card reader, they seem to be connected. My question is, where do these trace back to?
Attached are pictures of the reader and under the seat cab
Guy I purchased from confirmed prior to shipment everything worked etc.

If it is do you hear the motor initialise (makes a noise) just after the game has booted - you should hear it and also get the drive board test.
Its enabled in the TEST / Game Assignments section, telling me No connection.
I've checked the connection to the back of the machine, all seems to be plugged in, the coin chute etc all works fine.
Hearing no noise after game boot.
Kinda a odd request, does anyone have any pictures of the exact area their card reader plugs in? I can see the metal plug going into the rear of the cab near the power cord, all ports etc are plugged into the actual card reader.
Any help is appreciated. Guy I purchased from is willing to send parts if I can confirm 100% its a bad unit.
If you're handy with a multimeter you might want to check that the reader is getting power.
The small rectangular shaped power supply shown in the bottom-left of your internal photo is the card reader PSU - check that it's getting 100VAC on the pink and sky blue wires and that it's outputting +12VDC on the red and white. You can then test similarly on the card reader connectors.
Or just do a continuity test on the red and white wires from PSU to card reader to check without powering up if you're unsure.
At what point does the 'card reader not connected' message appear? I've never seen this, but then I've only ever disabled it in the TEST menu.
Wanted:
Sega Model 3 Emergency Call Ambulance ROM board or complete Step 2 boardset.

So I'm getting the not connected error just from the card testing section in the menu.
If its enabled, the game won't start and gives me the CARD R/W Error
I found two black and red wires unplugged in the rear of the cab as well as matching red and black plugs unplugged next to the Player under the seat
Any idea what these go to?
I found an open port on the player and plugged them in, although nothing changed.
