Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Cadillac DTS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate speaker.
- Ignition ON, radio ON, test for 6.0-7.0 volts between the appropriate speaker channel circuit terminal A and ground.
- If less than the specified range, test the speaker channel circuit for a short to ground or open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the radio (UW6) or amplifier (UQ3).
- If greater than the specified range, test the speaker channel circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the radio (UW6) or amplifier (UQ3).
