B1463

B1463 - Channel 1 Audio Speaker Output Circuit Open






For a complete wiring diagram.

• When Monitored: Amplifier bus wake-up. Amplifier reset with scan tool.

• Set Condition: The amplifier detects an open condition on the speaker output circuit.






Test Step 1 - Check for an Intermittent Condition

• Turn the ignition ON.

• Turn the radio ON.

• With the scan tool, erase amplifier DTCs.

• With the scan tool, reset the amplifier.

• With the scan tool, read amplifier DTCs.

Does the scan tool display B1463 - Channel 1 Audio Speaker Output Circuit Open?

Yes

• Go to Test Step 2.

No

• The conditions that caused this code to set are not present at this time. Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors.

• Perform the Body Verification Test. Refer to => Non-DTC Based Diagnostics. Body Interior

Test Step 2 - Check the Operation of the Left I/P Speaker






• Disconnect the left I/P speaker harness connector.

• Turn the radio ON and turn the volume to mid level.

• With a voltmeter set to read in A/C voltage, measure the voltage of the amplified left I/P speaker circuits in the harness connector.

Is the voltage present greater than 1 volt?

Yes

• Replace the amplified left I/P speaker.

• Perform the Body Verification Test. Refer to => Non-DTC Based Diagnostics. Body Interior

No

• Go to Test Step 3.

Test Step 3 - Check the Amplified Left I/P Speaker (+) Circuit for an Open






• Turn the ignition OFF.

• Disconnect the amplifier C2 harness connector.

• Measure the resistance of the amplified left I/P speaker (+) circuit between the amplifier C2 harness connector and the amplified left I/P speaker harness connector.

Is the resistance less than 5.0 ohms?

Yes

• Go to Test Step 4.

No

• Repair an open in the amplified left I/P speaker (+) circuit.

• Perform the Body Verification Test. Refer to => Non-DTC Based Diagnostics. Body Interior

Test Step 4 - Check the Amplified Left I/P Speaker (-) for an Open






• Turn the ignition OFF.

• Disconnect the amplifier C2 harness connector.

• Measure the resistance of the amplified left I/P speaker (-) circuit between the amplifier C2 harness connector and the speaker harness connector.

Is the resistance less than 5.0 ohms?

Yes

• Replace the amplifier.

• Perform the Body Verification Test. Refer to => Non-DTC Based Diagnostics. Body Interior

No

• Repair the open in the speaker (-) circuit.

• Perform the Body Verification Test. Refer to => Non-DTC Based Diagnostics. Body Interior
