Circuit/System Testing

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Cadillac DTS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Amplifier Circuit Malfunction with UQ3

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the amplifier.
  2. Test for less than 10 ohms of resistance between the ground circuit terminal 2 and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
  3. Ignition ON, verify a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal 1 and ground.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal and the circuit fuse is open, replace the amplifier.
  4. Disconnect the X3 harness connector at the amplifier.
  5. Radio ON, test for 0.5-1.0 volts between the signal circuit terminal 5 and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the radio.
    • If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the radio.
  6. Verify a test lamp illuminates between the signal circuit terminal 6 and ground.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the radio.
  7. If all circuits test normal, replace the amplifier.
