1. Amplifier inoperative/no sound from speakers * Speaker output DTCs available when equipped with amplifier UQA only |
Each of the audio output channel circuits (+) and (-), at the radio and at the amplifier have a DC bias voltage that is one half of the battery voltage. When using a DMM, each of the audio output channel circuits will measure approximately 6.5V DC. The audio being played on the system is produced by a varying AC voltage that is centered around the DC bias voltage on the same circuit. The AC voltage is what causes the speaker cone to move and produce sound. This voltage will vary depending on what type of audio is being listened to, talk or music, and type of music, as well as the volume setting of the system. Low volume and talk settings will measure around 1V AC and less, where constant music may measure 3V AC and slightly higher.
The radio provides left and right audio signals to the amplifier. The amplifier is supplied battery voltage from a dedicated fuse in the rear fuse block. The amplifier communicates with the vehicle via serial data, which controls the power state of the amplifier and allows the amplifier to set DTCs. Balance/fade and muting functions are all performed by the amplifier based on serial data messages.
The radio provides four channels of audio signals to the amplifier- left front, left rear, right front and right rear. The amplifier is supplied battery voltage from a dedicated fuse in the rear fuse block. The amplifier power state is controlled by a remote enable signal via the antenna 14V switched supply circuit, which also provides power to the antenna module. Amplifier muting functions are controlled by a dedicated pulse width modulated signal from the radio via the amp control circuit. The amplifier provides eight audio output channels to the speakers. This amplifier does not communicate on the serial data bus and cannot set DTCs.
• | When equipped with the UQA amplifier, DTCs may be set by the radio for the audio outputs to the amplifier; or by the amplifier, for the audio outputs to the speakers. |
• | When equipped with the UQ3 amplifier, only the radio sets DTCs for the audio outputs to the amplifier. |
A short to voltage is detected on the specified (+) or (-) signal circuit
A short to ground is detected on the specified (+) or (-) signal circuit
An open is detected on the specified (+) or (-) signal circuit
The radio sets a current status for this DTC when a short to ground, short to voltage or an open is detected on any of the 6 speaker channel outputs from the radio.
The radio disables audio output on the appropriate channel
• | The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists. |
• | A history DTC will clear once 100 consecutive malfunction-free ignition cycles have occurred. |
