Speakers Inoperative - One or More for Chevrolet Colorado Pickup - 2WD 2006

Schematic Reference: Radio/Audio System Schematics

Always perform the Vehicle Diagnostic System Check before proceeding with these diagnostic procedures. Refer to Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle in Vehicle DTC Information.

Important: The following information lists the most probable cause of the concern to the least probable cause followed by the appropriate test for that condition. If the list leads to the replacement of a component, always inspect for a poor connection before proceeding with the replacement. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems.

1. Speaker output shorted--Test all speaker outputs for a short. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
2. Defective radio--Replace the radio. Refer to Control Module References in Computer/Integrating Systems.

Important: The following procedure assumes all speakers are operative for all modes of operation except digital radio.

With RPO U2K

1. Remote radio audio signal circuit shorted--Test the remote radio audio signal circuits for a short. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
2. No audio output from the digital radio receiver--Replace the digital radio receiver. Refer to Control Module References in Computer/Integrating Systems.
3. No digital radio audio output from the radio--Replace the radio. Refer to Control Module References in Computer/Integrating Systems.

1. Speaker output open--Test the appropriate speaker output circuits for an open. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
2. No audio output from the radio--Test for any AC voltage between the appropriate speaker output circuits at the speaker harness connector, disconnected with the radio volume adjusted to an audible level. If AC voltage is present, replace the speaker. Refer to Speaker Replacement Reference . If no AC voltage is present, replace the radio. Refer to Control Module References in Computer/Integrating Systems.
