Circuit/System Testing

Speaker Circuit Malfunction - without Amplifier

  1. Disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate speaker.
  2. Radio ON, test for 5.0-7.5V between the signal circuit terminal A and ground.
    • 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.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the radio.
  3. Test for 5.0-7.5V between the signal circuit terminal B and ground.
    • 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.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the radio.
  4. If all circuits test normal, replace the speaker.

Amplifier Circuit Malfunction

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the audio amplifier.
  2. Ignition OFF, test for less than 10Ω 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, test for B+ between the B+ circuit terminal 1 and ground.
    • If less then the specified value, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.
  4. Disconnect the X3 harness connector at the audio amplifier.
  5. Radio ON, test for B+ between the signal circuit terminal 6 and ground.
    • If less than the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the radio.
  6. Test for 0.5-1.0V between the amplifier mute signal circuit terminal 16 and ground.
    • If less than the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the radio.
    • If greater than the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the radio.
  7. If all circuits test normal, replace the audio amplifier.

Speaker Circuit Malfunction - with Amplifier

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X3 harness connector at the audio amplifier.
  2. Radio ON, test for 5.0-7.5V between the appropriate signal circuit terminal listed below and ground.
