Inspection and Verification: Notes
- Verify the customer concern.
- Visually inspect the following for obvious signs of mechanical or electrical damage.VISUAL INSPECTION CHART
Mechanical Electrical - Audio unit
- Antenna or antenna cable(s)
- Global positioning system (GPS) antenna
- Navigation map DVD
- Satellite radio antenna
- Speakers, mounting/speaker cones
- Radio ignition interference capacitors, radio frequency interference suppression bond, and radio receiver hood bonding strap
- Smart junction box (SJB) fuse(s):
- 6 (5A) (audio unit)
- 20 (10A) (audio unit)
- Bussed electrical center (BEC) fuse(s):
- 6 (30A) (luggage compartment amplifiers)
- 9 (30A) (luggage compartment amplifiers)
- 16 (30A) (door amplifiers)
- 56 (20A) (audio unit, satellite radio receiver)
- Circuitry
- If an obvious cause for an observed or reported concern is found, correct the cause (if possible) before proceeding to the next step.
- If the cause is not visually evident, connect the scan tool to the data link connector (DLC).
- If the scan tool does not communicate with the VCM:
- Check the VCM connection to the vehicle.
- Check the scan tool connection to the VCM.
- Refer to MODULE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK , No Power To The Scan Tool, to diagnose no communication with the scan tool.
- If the scan tool does not communicate with the vehicle:
- Verify the ignition key is in the ON position.
- Verify the scan tool operation with a known good vehicle.
- Refer to MODULE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK to diagnose no response from the powertrain control module (PCM).
- Carry out the network test:
- If the scan tool responds with no communication for one or more modules, refer to MODULE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK .
- If the network test passes, retrieve and record the continuous memory diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs).
- Clear the continuous DTCs and carry out the self-test diagnostics for the audio unit.
- If the DTCs retrieved are related to the concern, go to AUDIO UNIT DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) INDEX or SATELLITE RADIO RECEIVER DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) INDEX .
- If no DTCs related to the concern are retrieved, go to the Speaker Walk-Around Test, the Audio Unit Self-Diagnostic Mode, the Navigation Audio Unit Self Diagnostic Mode, or the Satellite Audio Bezel Diagnostic Test.
NOTE:
Make sure to use the latest scan tool software release.
NOTE:
The vehicle communication module (VCM) LED prove-out confirms power and ground from the DLC are provided to the VCM.
