Circuit/System Description

Each of the audio output channel circuits (+) and (-), at the radio and audio amplifier have a DC bias voltage that is one half of the battery voltage. When using DMM, each audio channel circuit will measure approx. 6.5 V DC. The sound generated by the system is produced by a varying alternating current (AC) which is centered around the DC current bias on the same circuit. The AC voltage is what causes the speaker cone to move and produce sound. This voltage will vary depending on what type of audio is being listened to, talk or music, and type of music, as well as the volume setting of the system. Low volume and talk settings will measure around 1 V AC and less, where constant music may measure 3 V AC and slightly higher. The amplifier can not set DTCs.

Conditions for Running the DTC


The ignition is in the RUN or ACCESSORY position.

The system voltage is between 9.5-15.5 V.

All the above conditions are present for greater than 10 s.


Conditions for Setting the DTC

B1025 01, B1035 01, B1045 01, B1055 01

The radio detects a short to voltage on the audio (+) or audio (-) circuit.

B1025 02, B1035 02, B1045 02, B1055 02

The radio detects a short to ground on the audio (+) or audio (-) circuit.

B1025 04, B1035 04, B1045 04, B1055 04

The radio detects an open on the audio (+) or audio (-) circuit.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The radio disables the audio output to the speaker signal circuit with the current fault.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC


A current DTC clears when the conditions for setting the DTC are no longer present and the ignition has been cycled from OFF to ON.

A history DTC will clear after 50 malfunction-free ignition cycles.

Circuit/System Verification

Radio ON, adjust the fade and balance controls on the radio to test all channels individually. Each channel should produce clear and even sound.

Circuit/System Testing


Without Amplifier

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate speaker.

2. Radio ON, test for 4-8 V between the signal circuit terminal A and ground.

3. If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the A11 Radio.

4. If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the A11 Radio.

5. Test for 4-8 V between the signal circuit terminal B and ground.

6. If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the A11 Radio.

7. If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the A11 Radio.

8. If all circuits test normal, replace the speaker.



With Amplifier

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X3 harness connector at the T3 Audio Amplifier.

2. Radio ON, test for 4-8 V between the appropriate signal circuit terminal listed below and ground.

Left front low level audio signal (+) terminal 9 X3

Left front low level audio signal (-) terminal 1 X3

Right front low level audio signal (+) terminal 10 X3

Right front low level audio signal (-) terminal 2 X3

Left rear low level audio signal (+) terminal 11 X3

Left rear low level audio signal (-) terminal 3 X3

Right rear low level audio signal (+) terminal 12 X3

Right rear low level audio signal (-) terminal 4 X3

3. If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the A11 Radio.

4. If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the A11 Radio.

5. If all circuits test normal, replace the T3 Audio Amplifier.
