B14C2

B14C2-CHANNEL 10 AUDIO SPEAKER OUTPUT CIRCUIT SHORTED TOGETHER





For a complete wiring diagram, refer to the Wiring Information.

Theory of Operation

The (X200) Center Instrument Panel (I/P) Speaker (+) circuit and the (X290) Center Instrument Panel (I/P) Speaker (-) circuit are outputs of the Amplifier. The Amplifier controls and monitors these circuits for a concern.

For a detailed description of the Audio System. Audio And Video - Description.

For additional information regarding the operation of the Audio System. Audio And Video - Operation.

- When Monitored:
With the ignition on. Radio volume at 25 or higher.

- Set Condition:
The Amplifier detects that the output circuits are shorted together.





1. CHECK FOR AN INTERMITTENT CONDITION
1. Turn the ignition on and open one of the front doors.

NOTE: A front door must remain open whenever checking or erasing Amplifier DTCs.

2. With the scan tool, record and erase the Amplifier DTCs.
3. Cycle the ignition switch from on to off, wait five seconds and then back to on.
4. Turn the Radio on and set the volume to 20.
5. Adjust the speakers to the rear and center.
6. With the scan tool, read the active Amplifier DTCs.

Does the scan tool display active: B14C2-CHANNEL 10 AUDIO SPEAKER OUTPUT CIRCUIT SHORTED TOGETHER?

Yes

- Go To 2

No

- Test complete, the condition or conditions that originally set this DTC are not present at this time. Using the wiring diagrams as a guide, check all related splices and connectors for signs of water intrusion, corrosion, pushed out or bent terminals and correct pin tension.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Body Verification Test.

2. CHECK THE OPERATION OF THE AMPLIFIED CENTER I/P SPEAKER




1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Disconnect the Center I/P Speaker.
3. Measure the resistance of the speaker between the two terminals.

NOTE: The graphic shows the connector for reference only. Measure between the speaker terminals.

Is the resistance of the speaker less than 1 Ohm?

Yes

- Replace the Center I/P Speaker. Speaker - Removal.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Body Verification Test.

No

- Go To 3

3. CHECK THE (X200) AMPLIFIED CENTER I/P SPEAKER (+) CIRCUIT, AND THE (X290) AMPLIFIED CENTER I/P SPEAKER (-) CIRCUITS FOR A SHORT TOGETHER




1. Disconnect the Amplifier C2 harness connector.
2. Measure the resistance between the (X200) Amplified Center I/P Speaker (+) circuit, and the (X290) Amplified Center I/P Speaker (-) circuit.

Is the resistance below 10K Ohms?

Yes

- Repair the (X200) Amplified Center I/P Speaker (+) circuit, and the (X290) Amplified Center I/P Speaker (-) circuit for a short together.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Body Verification Test.

No

- Replace the Amplifier. Amplifier - Removal.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Body Verification Test.
