Circuit Description
The Video Entertainment System (VES) controls the operation of the rear speakers. The Auxiliary Video Module (AVM) has an audio amplifier, which is used to sound video audio through the rear speakers. The Interface Module (IM) senses when the radio is in use. When the radio is off, the IM allows the rear speakers to sound video audio. However, when the radio is turned on, the IM mutes the rear speakers; video audio is then available through the headphone jacks at the Second and Third Seat Audio (SSA/TSA) controls only. This action prevents two sources of audio to be heard at the same time (radio audio through the front speakers and video audio through the rear speakers.)
Diagnostic Aids
| • | Check for the following conditions: |
| - | A faulty AVM |
| - | A faulty IM |
| • | An intermittent failure may be very difficult to detect and to diagnose accurately. Faulty electrical connections or wiring causes most intermittent problems. When an intermittent condition is suspected, check the suspected circuits for the following conditions: |
| - | Poor mating of connector halves or backed out terminals |
| - | Improperly formed or damaged terminals |
| - | Wire chafing |
| - | Poor wire to terminal connections |
| - | Dirty or corroded terminals |
| - | Damage to connector bodies |
| - | Wire broken inside the insulation |
