Circuit/System Testing

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the A22 Radio Controls.
  2. Test for less than 10 Ω between the ground circuit terminal 8 and ground.
    • If 10 Ω or greater 
    1. Ignition OFF.
    2. Test for less than 2 Ω in the ground circuit end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, repair the open/high resistance in the ground connection.
    • Go to next step: If less than 10 Ω 
  3. Test for less than 20 Ω between the data shield circuit terminal 7 and ground.
    • If 20 Ω or greater 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 connector at the A11 Radio.
    2. Test for less than 2 Ω in the data shield 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.
    • Go to next step: If less than 20 Ω 
  4. Verify that a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal 1 and ground.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate and the circuit fuse is good 
    1. Ignition OFF.
    2. Test for less than 2 Ω in the B+ circuit end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, refer to Power Mode Mismatch .
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate and the circuit fuse is open 
    1. Ignition OFF.
    2. Test for infinite resistance between the B+ circuit and ground.
      • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • If infinite resistance, replace the A22 Radio Controls.
    • Go to next step: If the test lamp illuminates. 
  5. Ignition ON.
  6. Test for 2 - 3 V between the serial data circuit terminals listed below and ground.
    • terminal 5
    • terminal 6
    • If less than 2 V 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the A11 Radio.
    2. Test for infinite resistance between the affected serial data circuit(s) and ground.
      • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • Go to next step: If infinite resistance
    3. Test for less than 2 Ω in the serial data 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 3 V 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the A11 Radio. Ignition ON.
    2. Test for less than 1 V between the serial data 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.
    • Go to next step: If between 2 - 3 V 
  7. Test for less than 1 V between the control circuit terminals listed below and ground.
    • terminal 3
    • terminal 4
    • If greater than 1 V 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the A11 Radio. Ignition ON.
    2. Test for less than 1 V between the affected control circuit(s) and ground.
      • If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
      • If less than 1 V, replace the A11 Radio.
    • Go to next step: If less than 1 V 
  8. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the A11 Radio.
  9. Test for infinite resistance between the control circuit terminals listed below and ground.
    • A22 Radio Controls terminal 3
    • A22 Radio Controls terminal 4
    • If less than infinite resistance, 

      Repair the short to ground on the circuit.

    • Go to next step: If infinite resistance 
  10. Test for less than 2 Ω between the control circuits listed below.
    • A22 Radio Controls terminal 3 and the A11 Radio terminal 13 X1
    • A22 Radio Controls terminal 4 and the A11 Radio terminal 27 X1
    • If 2 Ω or greater 

      Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.

    • Go to next step: If less than 2 Ω. 
  11. Replace the A22 Radio Controls. Connect all harness connectors.
  12. Ignition ON, radio ON.
  13. Verify that all radio controls operate and perform the correct function.
    • If the radio controls still malfunction. 

      Replace the A11 Radio.

    • Go to next step: If all radio controls operate and perform the correct function. 
  14. All OK
