Circuit/System Description

For the lower level radios the DTC will set only if the short or open condition is on the speaker output circuits of the radio,

The up-level radio (UQA) supplies 4 channels of audio to an amplifier. The amplifier supplies 4 input signal channels to 6 speakers.

On some up-level radios the DTC may also set if the short or open condition is on the output of the amplifier.

Conditions for Running the DTC

The radio is ON.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

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.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

No sound is present from one or more of the speakers.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

The fault condition is not present for 0.25 seconds.

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

All speakers should function properly and make sure the DTC does not reset.

Circuit/System Testing

Test the suspect speaker channel between the radio and the speakers (or amplifier if equipped) for a short to ground, short to voltage or an open.

If a short to ground or voltage can not be found, test or replace the radio.
If a short to ground or voltage can not be found, test or replace the amplifier.
