B146E

B146E-CHANNEL 3 AUDIO SPEAKER OUTPUT CIRCUIT SHORTED TOGETHER





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

- 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 25.
5. Adjust the speakers to the front and center.
6. With the scan tool, read the active Amplifier DTCs.

Does the scan tool display active: B146E-CHANNEL 3 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 LEFT FRONT DOOR SPEAKER




1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Disconnect the Left Front Door Speaker harness connector.
3. Measure the resistance of the speaker between the two terminals.

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

Is the resistance of the speaker less than 1 Ohm?

Yes

- Replace the Left Front Door Speaker.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Body Verification Test.

No

- Go To 3

3. CHECK THE (X201) LEFT FRONT DOOR SPEAKER (+) CIRCUIT AND THE (X291) LEFT FRONT DOOR SPEAKER (-) CIRCUITS FOR A SHORT TOGETHER




1. Disconnect the Amplifier C1 harness connector.
2. Measure the resistance between the (X201) Left Front Door Speaker (+) circuit and the (X291) Left Front Door Speaker (-) circuit.

Is the resistance below 10K Ohms?

Yes

- Repair the short between the (X201) Left Front Door Speaker (+) circuit and the (X291) Left Front Door Speaker (-) circuit.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Body Verification Test.

No

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