Circuit/System Description
The radio provides a remote amplifier mute output circuit to control overall muting of the remote amplifier. The amplifier receives pulse width modulated (PWM) signals on the control circuit at varying duty cycle percentages for controlling muted and unmuted functions of the amplifier. Circuitry internal to the radio monitors the remote amplifier mute circuit for faults and sets the appropriate DTC when faults are detected.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The following are conditions that must be present in order for the radio to enable the diagnostics.
| • | Radio ON |
| • | The system voltage is at between 9 - 16 V |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
A short to voltage, short to ground, or an open is seen on the remote enable circuit
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The radio sets the DTC and continues to output the correct muted or unmuted amplifier state based on the fault condition on the circuit.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | A current DTC clears when the condition for setting the DTC is no longer present |
| • | A history DTC clears after 100 malfunction- free ignition cycles |

Circuit/System Verification
Radio ON, adjust the fade and balance control to verify audio is present at each individual channel.
Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the C3 harness connector at the audio amplifier.
- Radio ON, test for test for 0.5 - 1.0 V between the signal circuit terminal 16 and ground.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the audio amplifier.
| ⇒ | 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. |
