Circuit/System Testing

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Buick LaCrosse. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE:

Some circuits supply audio signals to more than one speaker. It may be necessary to disconnect all speakers on the affected audio circuit when performing circuit tests.

Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate P19 Speaker. Ignition ON, infotainment system ON, mute OFF.
Test for 5-7 V between the appropriate signal circuit terminals listed below and ground.
- Door, tweeter, subwoofer, and center I/P speakers audio (-) circuit terminal 1
- Door, tweeter, subwoofer, and Center I/P speakers audio (+) circuit terminal 2
- Rear surround audio (-) circuit terminal A
- Rear surround audio (+) circuit terminal B
- If less than 5 V
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 and X2 harness connectors at the T3 Audio Amplifier.
2. Test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit and ground.
  - If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
  - If infinite resistance
3. Test for less than 2 Ω in the signal circuit end to end.
  - If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
  - If less than 2 Ω, replace the T3 Audio Amplifier.
- If greater than 7 V
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 and X2 harness connectors at the T3 Audio Amplifier. Ignition ON.
2. Test for less than 1 V between the signal circuit and ground.
  - If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
  - If less than 1 V, replace the T3 Audio Amplifier.
- If 5-7 V
Test or replace the P19 Speaker.
