Circuit/System Description

The radio supplies 4 audio signals to 4 individual speakers or an amplifier if equipped.

Conditions for Running the DTC

The radio is ON.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

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 4 speaker output signal circuits between the radio and speakers or radio and amplifier (if equipped).

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

No sound is present from one or more of the speakers.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

The fault condition is no longer present.

Circuit/System Verification

All speakers should function properly and the DTC does not reset.

Circuit/System Testing

Important: Verify the DTC is current before performing this diagnostic

W/O Amplifier

  1. Ignition ON, operate the radio. Center the fade and balance adjustments on the radio.
  2. Ignition OFF, disconnect the suspect speaker connector.
  3. Ignition ON, test for 5-6 volts between the suspect (+) audio output signal circuit and ground.
  4. If less than 5 volts, test the suspect (+) audio output signal circuit for short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuits test normal replace the radio.
    If greater than 6 volts, test the suspect (+) audio output signal circuit for short to voltage. If the circuits test normal replace the radio.
  5. Ignition ON, test for 5-6 volts between the suspect (-) audio output signal circuit and ground.
  6. If less than 5 volts, test the suspect (-) audio output signal circuit for short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuits test normal replace the radio.
    If greater than 6 volts, test the suspect (-) audio output signal circuit for short to voltage. If the circuits test normal replace the radio.

With Amplifier

  1. Ignition ON, operate the radio. Center the fade and balance adjustments on the radio.
  2. Ignition OFF, Disconnect the C3 harness connector at the amplifier.
  3. Ignition ON, test for 5-6 volts between the suspect (+) audio output signal circuit and ground.
  4. If less than 5 volts, test the suspect (+) audio output signal circuit for short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuits test normal replace the radio.
    If greater than 6 volts, test the suspect (+) audio output signal circuit for short to voltage. If the circuits test normal replace the radio.
  5. Ignition ON, test for 5-6 volts between the suspect (-) audio output signal circuit and ground.
  6. If less than 5 volts, test the suspect (-) audio output signal circuit for short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuits test normal replace the radio.
    If greater than 6 volts, test the suspect (-) audio output signal circuit for short to voltage. If the circuits test normal replace the radio.
  7. If the voltage is within the specified range on all audio output signal circuits replace the amplifier.

If all circuits test normal replace the amplifier.

Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
