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

- When Monitored:
With the ignition on.

- Set Condition:
The Amplifier detects a short to battery condition on the output circuit.





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

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: B14C0-CHANNEL 10 AUDIO SPEAKER OUTPUT CIRCUIT HIGH?

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 FOR VOLTAGE ON THE (X200) AMPLIFIED CENTER I/P SPEAKER (+) CIRCUIT




1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Disconnect the Amplifier C2 harness connector.
3. Disconnect the Center I/P Speaker harness connector.
4. Turn the ignition on.
5. Measure the voltage between the (X200) Center I/P Speaker (+) circuit and ground.
