Amplifier Mute Signal | B1287 02 | B1287 04 | B1287 01 | -- |
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
| • | Radio 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, short to ground, or an open/high resistance in the remote radio control circuit.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
Audio amplifier functions are disabled.
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
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the audio amplifier.
- Ignition ON, radio ON, test for 0.6-1.0 volts between the signal circuit terminal 7 and ground.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the audio amplifier.
| ⇒ | 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. |
Repair Instructions
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
