Circuit Description

The Integrated Radio Controller (IRC) and the CD changer communicate on the E&C data line. The IRC sets DTC B1760 when it detects a loss of E&C communications with the CD Changer. If the CD changer is not heard from, the IRC initiates communications with the CD changer to determine its integrity.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

    • This algorithm shall execute when the radio transitions from the OFF to the ON mode.
    • DTC B1760 will set if the IRC detects a loss of E&C communication between the radio and the CD changer.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

    • DTC B1760 is stored in the IRC memory.
    • No driver warning message will be displayed for this DTC.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

DTC B1760 will clear when the ignition switch is cycled.
