Circuit/System Description

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.

Conditions for Running the DTC

The radio is ON.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

DTC B1025 01, B1035 01, B1045 01, B1055 01

A short to voltage is detected on the specified (+) or (-) signal circuit

DTC B1025 02, B1035 02, B1045 02, B1055 02

A short to ground is detected on the specified (+) or (-) signal circuit

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The radio disables audio output on the appropriate channel

Circuit/System Verification

Radio ON, adjust the fade and balance controls on the radio to test all four channels individually. Each of the four channels should produce clear and even sound.

Circuit/System Testing

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate speaker.
2. Radio ON, test for 5.0-7.5 volts between the signal circuit terminal A and ground.

⇒	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.

3. Test for 5.0-7.5 volts between the signal circuit terminal B and ground.

⇒	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.

4. If all circuits test normal, replace the speaker.
