Diagnostic Fault Information
Circuit/System Description
Each of the audio output channel circuits (+) and (-), at the radio and audio amplifier have a DC bias voltage that is one half of the battery voltage. When using a DMM, each of the audio output channel circuits will measure approximately 6.5 V DC. The audio being played on the system is produced by a varying AC voltage that is centered around the DC bias voltage on the same circuit. The AC voltage is what causes the speaker cone to move and produce sound. This voltage will vary depending on what type of audio is being listened to, talk or music, and type of music, as well as the volume setting of the system. Low volume and talk settings will measure around 1 V AC and less, where constant music may measure 3 V AC and slightly higher. The audio amplifier can not set DTCs. The base audio system has a powered subwoofer that shares the audio outputs for the rear speakers.
Conditions for Running the DTC
* The ignition is in the RUN or ACC position.
* The system voltage is at least 9.5 V and no more than 15.5 V.
* All the above conditions are present for greater than 10 seconds.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
B1025 01, B1035 01, B1045 01, B1055 01
The radio detects a short to voltage on the audio (+) or audio (-) circuit.
B1025 02, B1035 02, B1045 02, B1055 02
The radio detects a short to ground on the audio (+) or audio (-) circuit.
B1025 04, B1035 04, B1045 04, B1055 04
The radio detects an open on the audio (+) or audio (-) circuit.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The radio disables the audio output to the speaker signal circuit with the current fault.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
* A current DTC clears when the conditions for setting the DTC are no longer present and the ignition has been cycled from OFF to ON.
* A history DTC clears after 50 malfunction-free ignition cycles.

Circuit/System Verification
Radio ON, Mute OFF, adjust the fade and balance controls on the radio to test all channels individually. Each channel should produce clear and even sound.
Circuit/System Testing
Without Amplifier
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate speaker.
2. Radio ON, test for 4-8 V between the signal circuit terminal A and ground.
• 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 radio.
• If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the radio.
3. Test for 4-8 V between the signal circuit terminal B and ground.
• 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 radio.
• If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the radio.
4. If all circuits test normal, replace the speaker.
With Amplifier
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X3 harness connector at the amplifier.
2. Radio ON, test for 4-8 V between the appropriate signal circuit terminal listed below and ground.
* Left front low level audio signal (+) - terminal 15
* Left front low level audio signal (-) - terminal 7
* Right front low level audio signal (+) - terminal 14
* Right front low level audio signal (-) - terminal 6
* Left rear low level audio signal (+) - terminal 13
* Left rear low level audio signal (-) - terminal 5
* Right rear low level audio signal (+) - terminal 12
* Right rear low level audio signal (-) - terminal 4
• 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 radio.
• If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the radio.
3. If all circuits test normal, replace the amplifier.
