Circuit/System Description
Each of the audio output channel circuits (+) and (-), at the radio and audio amplifier 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
Set by Radio
The radio sets a current status for this DTC when a short to ground, short to voltage or an open is detected on any of the 4 speaker channel outputs from the radio.
Set by Bose Amplifier
The DTC will not set during normal amplifier operation. The vehicle must have the ignition OFF for several hours and the fault must be present during amplifier power-up.
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
No sound is present from one or more of the speakers.
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. |
Diagnostic Aids
Speakers located in the front A-pillar are connected to the same channel as the speaker in the door. A DTC will only set after the amplifier only on up-level radios.

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
Important: This DTC can be set by either the radio or the amplifier. If the DTC was set by the radio, diagnose the appropriate audio output circuits to the speakers or the low level inputs to the amplifier (if equipped). If the
DTC was set by the amplifier, diagnose audio output signals to the speakers from the amplifier. If equipped with rear seat audio (RSA) (U42), the RSA must be turned off to perform proper speaker testing.
