Diagnostic Fault Information






Circuit/System Description

The radio provides a remote amplifier mute output circuit to control overall muting of the remote amplifier. The amplifier receives pulse width modulated (PWM) signals on the control circuit at varying duty cycle percentages for controlling muted and unmuted functions of the amplifier. Circuitry internal to the radio monitors the remote amplifier mute circuit for faults and sets the appropriate DTC when faults are detected.

Conditions for Running the DTC

* Radio ON.

* The system voltage is between 9-16 V

Conditions for Setting the DTC

A short to voltage, short to ground, or an open is seen on the remote enable circuit.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The radio sets the DTC and continues to output the correct muted or unmuted amplifier state based on the fault condition on the circuit.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

* A current DTC clears when the condition for setting the DTC is no longer present.

* A history DTC clears after 100 malfunction- free ignition cycles.

Circuit/System Verification

Radio ON, adjust the fade and balance control to verify audio is present at each individual channel.

Circuit/System Testing

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X3 harness connector at the audio amplifier.

2. Ignition ON, Radio ON, Mute OFF, test for test for less than 1.0 V between the appropriate signal circuit terminal listed below and ground.

* terminal 4 (UQG)

* terminal 11 (UQA/UQS)

If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the radio.

3. If all circuits test normal, replace the audio amplifier.
