2. Measure:





Are the resistances greater than 10,000 ohms?








4. CHECK THE AUDIO CIRCUITS FOR A SHORT TOGETHER

1. Measure:





Is the resistance greater than 10,000 ohms?








5. CHECK THE AUDIO CIRCUITS TO THE LF (Left Front) DOOR SPEAKER FOR AN OPEN

1. Measure:





Are the resistances less than 3 ohms?








6. CHECK FOR CORRECT ACM (Audio Control Module) OPERATION

1. Disconnect and inspect all ACM (Audio Control Module) connectors.

2. Repair:

- corrosion (install new connector or terminals- clean module pins)
- damaged pins - install new terminals/pins
- pushed-out pins - install new pins as necessary
