Connecting the Breakout Box, Audio Control Module




Connecting The Breakout Box, Audio Control Module

Special Tools: 951 1507, 981 3190, 951 1509

Connecting the breakout box
- Ignition off
- Expose the head unit/audio module.

Check that the male and female terminals on the unit connectors are undamaged and secure (cannot be pressed in). Check that the cables to the female terminals are secured to the terminal pins.

NOTE: In order for the below connections to be made take note of the color codes of the connectors.

Connect adapter 951 1507 to the audio control module (wiring side). Connect breakout box 981 3190 to the adapter.

Audio control module terminals:
#A1 - #A12 correspond to terminals #15 - #26 on the breakout box (green connector).

#B1 - #B12 correspond to terminals #1 - #12 on the breakout box (gray connector).

Terminals #E1 - #E8 correspond to terminals #16 - #23 on the breakout box.

When connecting connector D, adapter 951 1509 must be used.

Terminals #D1 - #D6 correspond to terminals #42 - #47 on the breakout box.

The breakout box is designed to facilitate reading off the control module input and output signals when the control module is connected; and the cable and component resistance when the control module is disconnected. The use of a breakout box reduces the risk of accidental short-circuited cables and damage to the connector pins.
