Circuit/System Description
Each of the audio output channel circuits (+) and (-), at the radio and audio 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.
Conditions for Running the DTC
| • | The radio is ON. |
| • | Battery voltage must be between 9-16 volts. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The DTC will set when the radio detects a short to voltage or short to ground in any of the low level audio signal circuits (+) and (-).
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
No sound is present from one or more of the speakers.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists. |
| • | A history DTC will clear once 100 consecutive malfunction-free ignition cycles have occurred. |

Circuit/System Testing
Without Amplifier
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate speaker.
- Radio ON, test for 5.0-7.5 volts between the signal circuit terminal A and ground.
- Test for 5.0-7.5 volts between the signal circuit terminal B and ground.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the speaker.
| ⇒ | 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. |
| ⇒ | 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. |
With Amplifier
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the C3 harness connector at the audio amplifier.
- Radio ON, test for 5.0-7.5 volts between the appropriate signal circuit terminal listed below and ground.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the audio amplifier.
| • | Left front low level audio signal (+) terminal 12 |
| • | Left front low level audio signal (-) terminal 10 |
| • | Right front low level audio signal (+) terminal 9 |
| • | Right front low level audio signal (-) terminal 11 |
| • | Left rear low level audio signal (+) terminal 3 |
| • | Left rear low level audio signal (-) terminal 1 |
| • | Right rear low level audio signal (+) terminal 4 |
| • | Right rear low level audio signal (-) terminal 2 |
| ⇒ | If less than the specified range, test the appropriate 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 appropriate signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the radio. |
