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 is ON
* The system voltage is at between 9 volts and 16 volts

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

Amplifier functions are disabled

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 and un-muted, test for 0.5-1.0 volts between the amplifier control circuit terminal 11 and ground.

• If greater than the specified value, test the amplifier control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the radio.
• If less than the specified value, test the amplifier control circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the radio.

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

Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification Verification Tests after completing the diagnostic procedure.
