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.
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. |
