IMPORTANT:
The following information lists the most probable cause of the concern to the least probable cause. If the list leads to the replacement of a component, always inspect for a poor connection before proceeding with replacement. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections
and Connector Repairs
in Wiring Systems.
With RPO UM8
- Speaker output open. Test the appropriate speaker output circuits for an open. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
- No audio output from the radio. Test for any AC voltage between the appropriate speaker output circuits at the speaker harness connector, disconnected with the radio volume adjusted to an audible level. If AC voltage is present, replace the speaker. Refer to Speaker Replacement Reference . If no AC voltage is present, replace the radio. Refer to Radio Replacement .
Without RPO UM8 or UQA
- Speaker output open. Test the appropriate speaker output circuits for an open. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
- No audio output from the radio. Test for any AC voltage between the appropriate speaker output circuits at the speaker harness connector, disconnected with the radio volume adjusted to an audible level. If AC voltage is present, replace the speaker. Refer to Speaker Replacement Reference . If no AC voltage is present, replace the radio. Refer to Radio Replacement .
IMPORTANT:
Reprogram the radio. Refer toService Programming System (SPS)
.
With RPO UQA (Bose)
- Speaker output circuit from amplifier open or shorted. Test the appropriate speaker output circuits for an open or short. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
- No audio output from the amplifier. Test for any AC voltage between the appropriate speaker output circuits at the speaker harness connector, disconnected with the radio volume adjusted to an audible level. If AC voltage is present, replace the speaker. Refer to Speaker Replacement Reference . If no AC voltage is present, replace the amplifier. Refer to Amplifier Replacement (Bravada, Envoy, TrailBlazer) Amplifier Replacement (Envoy XL, TrailBlazer EXT) Amplifier Replacement (Envoy XUV) .
