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.
The radio is ON.
The radio sets a current status for this DTC when a short to ground or short to voltage is detected on any of the speaker channel outputs from the radio.
A short to voltage or a short to ground is detected on the specified (+) or (-) signal circuit
No sound is present from one or more of the speakers.
The fault condition becomes history if not present for 0.25 seconds.

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.
⇒ | 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. |
⇒ | If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the radio. |

The radio is ON.
A short to voltage or a short to ground is detected on a speaker output signal circuit.
The radio disables its outputs on one or more channels, producing no sound.
• | A current DTC will clear when the conditions for setting are no longer seen. |
• | A history DTC will clear after 100 malfunction free ignition cycles. |
