Diagnostic Aids

Improper speaker mounting or loose trim may cause an audible buzz or distortion. Inspect the appropriate speaker and the surrounding interior trim for proper and secure mounting.
The EL-50334-6 Audio System Diagnostic CD contains audio tracks that can be used to duplicate and isolate such concerns. Tracks 11 and 12 contain audio sweep tones for testing for speaker and grill rattles.

If the speaker or surrounding interior trim is found to be loose or improperly secured, correctly secure the item.
The test tones on the CD may be copied to a USB drive or other device to use during testing.
Some audio output circuits are connected to more than one speaker, dependant on vehicle equipment. It may be necessary to disconnect one or more speakers during testing of some circuits.
