Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Chevrolet Corvette. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition ON and radio ON, Center the balance and fade adjustment on the radio and increase the volume.
- If adjustment of the fade and balance eliminates the concern, review the operation of the radio with the customer.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the amplifier C1 harness connector.
- Test for B+ on terminal H (U65) or E (US8/U66) .
- If less than specified voltage repair short to ground or open high resistance.
- Disconnect amplifier harness connector C2 if equipped with Y07 or US8/U66.
- Ignition ON and radio ON, test for less than 1 volt on the amplifier mute signal circuit terminal A8 (US8/U66) or B1(U65).
- If greater than 1 volt repair short to B+ or replace the radio.
- Test for greater than 9 volts on antenna enable signal circuit terminal A3 (US8/U66) or B11(U65).
- If less than specified value, repair short to ground or open/high resistance or replace the radio.
- Ignition OFF, test for less than 1 ohm between the amplifier ground circuit terminal F (US8/U66) or A (U65) and ground.
- If greater than specified value repair open/high resistance.
- Disconnect the amplifier C2 harness connector if equipped with Y67.
- Ignition ON and radio ON, center the balance and fade adjustment on the radio and increase the volume.
- Test for AC voltage between the left front low level audio signal (-) terminal A6 (US8/U66) or B9 (U65) and left front low level audio signal terminal (+) A7 (US8/U66) or B10 (U65) .
- If AC voltage is not present replace the radio.
- If all circuits test normal replace the amplifier.
