B14C7

B14C7 - Channel 11 Audio Speaker Output Circuit Short Together

For a complete wiring diagram, refer to.

• When Monitored: With the ignition on and the radio volume at 25 or higher.

• Set Condition: The amplifier detects that the output circuits are shorted together.






Test Step 1 - Check for an Intermittent Condition

• Turn the ignition ON, then OFF, and then ON again.

• With the scan tool, erase any amplifier DTCs.

• Turn the radio ON.

• Turn the volume level to 25.

• With the scan tool, check for amplifier DTCs.

Does the scan tool display B14C7 - Channel 11 Audio Speaker Output Circuit Short Together?

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 RR Tweeter

• Disconnect the tweeter.

• Measure the resistance of the speaker between the two terminals.

Is the resistance of the speaker less than 1 ohm?

Yes

• Replace the tweeter.

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

No

• Go to Test Step 3.

Test Step 3 - Check the RR Tweeter (+) and (-) Circuits for a Short Together

• Turn the ignition OFF.

• Disconnect the amplifier C2 harness connector.

• Measure the resistance between the tweeter (+) and (-) circuit.

Is the resistance less than 10K ohms?

Yes

• Repair the tweeter (+) and (-) circuits for a short together.

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

No

• Replace the amplifier.
