Circuit/System Testing

    Important:: It is recommended that Component Testing is performed before Circuit Testing when diagnosing speaker circuits.

  1. With the scan tool, first verify the DTC is set by the amplifier.
  2. If the DTC was set by the amplifier, test the suspect speaker circuit for a short to ground or short to power.

    If all circuits test normal, replace the amplifier.

  3. Test the radio audio output circuit for a short to ground or short to power.
  4. If all circuits test normal, replace the navigation radio

Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.

    • For the speaker replacement, refer to Speaker Replacement Reference.
    • For audio amplifier and navigation radio replacement, setup and programming, refer to Control Module References.
