The internal amplifier circuitry is monitored for temperature. If the amplifier senses an over-heat condition higher than 95°C (203°F) of the internal circuitry, the amplifier will shut down until the internal circuitry cools below 90°C (194°F).
• | Radio ON. |
• | Battery voltage must be between 9-16 volts. |
Amplifier senses an over-heat condition higher than 95°C (203°F) of the internal circuitry.
The audio amplifier will shut down and all speakers will be inoperative.
• | The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists. |
• | A history DTC will clear once 100 consecutive malfunction-free ignition cycles have occurred. |
Extended use or extremely high volume especially in warm weather conditions may cause this DTC to set. Under these conditions it may be normal for this DTC to set to prevent permanent damage to the audio amplifier circuitry.

Note: Allow the entertainment system to cool if the ambient temperature inside the vehicle is in excess before proceeding with this diagnostic procedure.
⇒ | If the DTC resets, replace the audio amplifier. |
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
