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

* The radio is ON.
* Battery voltage must be between 9-16 volts.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The DTC will set when the radio detects a short to voltage, short to ground, or an open/high resistance in the remote radio control circuit.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

Audio amplifier functions are disabled.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

* The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists.
* A history DTC will clear once 100 consecutive malfunction-free ignition cycles have occurred.

Circuit/System Testing

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X3 harness connector at the audio amplifier.
2. Ignition ON, radio ON, test for 0.6-1.0 volt between the signal circuit terminal 16 and ground.

• If greater than the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the radio.

• If less than the specified value, test the signal 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 audio amplifier.

Repair Instructions

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