Part 2





If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the audio amplifier.
If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the audio amplifier.

8. If all circuits test normal, replace the speaker.
