Circuit / System Description
The video entertainment system in this vehicle transmits the DVD audio signal playback to the vehicle via an FM modulation process. The DVD audio signals are routed through the a/v box, through the audio filter and on to the FM modulator. The tuner on
the radio is then tuned to one of the selectable frequencies on the FM frequency selector switch inside the console. The DVD audio portion can now be heard through the vehicle audio system. For the clearest sound reproduction from the DVD Audio, Tune the radio
to each one of the frequencies shown on the FM frequency selector switch and stop on the frequency that has the least amount of radio signal or noise. Now set the FM frequency selector switch to the same frequency as the radio.

Circuit/System Testing
DVD Vehicle Audio Playback Inoperative
- Turn ON the ignition, Tune the radio to station 88.5, 88.7, 88.9, 89.1,89.3, 89.5, 89.7, or 89.9, MHz. Chose the station that has the least amount of regular audible radio reception or noise. Turn ON the
- Turn ON the FM frequency selector switch and select the same frequency as the radio is tuned to.
- Press the power button on the headrest DVD display(s). Insert a DVD and operate the DVD player in play mode. Verify the DVD audio can not received on one of the above stations.
⇒ | If the DVD audio can be heard review the system operation with the customer. |
- Verify the DVD player is in play mode and the proper source is selected at the DVD display screens.
- At the DVD player , test for AC voltage on all the audio left and right circuits with a DMM.
⇒ | If AC voltage is not present, test the appropriate circuit for an open / high resistance , or short to ground or short to power. |
⇒ | If the circuits test normal, replace the DVD control module. |
- Test for AC voltage on the audio left and right circuits to audio ground, between the A/V box and the audio filter.
⇒ | If AC voltage is not present, test the appropriate circuit for an open / high resistance , or short to ground or short to power. |
⇒ | If the circuits test normal, replace the audio filter. |
- Test for AC voltage on the audio left and right circuits to audio ground, between the audio filter and the FM modulator.
⇒ | If AC voltage is not present, test the appropriate circuit for an open / high resistance , or short to ground or short to power. |
⇒ | If the circuits test normal, replace the FM Modulator. |
