Pinpoint Test R: The SYNC System Is Completely Inoperative

Normal Operation

The Accessory Protocol Interface Module (APIM) receives voltage at all times from circuit SBB13 (GY/RD), and ground through circuit GD148 (BK/YE). The wake-up signal is sent to the APIM by the Audio Control Module (ACM) via the Medium Speed Controller Area Network (MS-CAN).

If a USB mass storage device is used to play an audio file, the SYNC system only plays audio files that do not have Digital Rights Management (DRM) protection.
