1. No or reduced sound from speaker * Noticeable Distorted Audio Possible |
Each of the audio output channel circuits (+) and (-), at the radio and at the amplifier (if equipped) 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 is ON.
A short to voltage is detected on the specified (+) or (-) signal circuit.
A short to ground is detected on the specified (+) or (-) signal circuit.
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. |
Speakers located in the front A-pillar are connected to the same channel as the speaker in the door.

Radio ON, adjust the fade and balance controls on the radio and listed to each of the four audio channels individually. Each of the four channels should produce clear and even sound.
⇒ | If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the radio. |
⇒ | If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the radio. |
⇒ | If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the radio. |
⇒ | If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the radio. |
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
