Remedy:

Remedy 1. Check sound amplifier (A2/13) for traces of water. Check condensation drain hoses for correct seating. Perform rain test and check interior compartment for leaks. Eliminate leaks and replace defective sound amplifier (A2/13) in accordance with parts note.

Remedy 2. In some cases the sound amplifier (A2/13) can be made to respond via XENTRY again by means of a voltage reset. In this case, upload the latest available software with XENTRY and wait for the bus to become idle. If the sound amplifier (A2/13) does not respond to XENTRY and if it still does not appear in the quick test, the sound amplifier (A2/13) must be replaced. After replacing the sound amplifier (A2/13), it must be flashed to software release 43/06 or higher.
