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.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate P19 Speaker. Ignition ON, radio ON, mute OFF.
- Test for 5-7 V between each audio signal circuit terminal 1 and terminal 2 and ground.
- If less than 5 V
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the A11 Radio.
- 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
- 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 A11 Radio.
- If greater than 7 V
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the A11 Radio. Ignition ON.
- 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 A11 Radio.
- If between 5-7 V
- Insert the EL-50334-6 Audio Test CD from the EL-50334-50 USB cable and adapter kit. Play track number three (50 Hz bass test tone) from the test CD.
- Test for 49-51 Hz between each signal circuit terminal 1 and terminal 2 and ground.
- If not between 49-51 Hz
Replace the A11 Radio.
- If between 49-51 Hz
- If not between 49-51 Hz
- Test or replace the P19 Speaker.
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.
NOTE:
In the following tests, audio signal frequencies (Hz) will be tested. To prevent misdiagnosis, the door chime must be OFF during testing. Ensure the driver door latch is closed during testing.
