Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2019 Chevrolet Malibu. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition/Vehicle & All vehicle systems - Off
- Disconnect the appropriate electrical connector: @ B77 Radio Volume Compensator Interior Noise Microphone
- Ignition - On / Vehicle - In Service Mode
- Test for 8 to 10 V between the test points:Signal circuit terminal 2 & Ground
- If less than 8 V
- Ignition/Vehicle & All vehicle systems - Off
- Disconnect the electrical connector:X2 @ A11 Radio
- Test for infinite resistance between the test points:Signal circuit terminal 2 & Ground
- If less than infinite resistance - Repair the short to ground on the circuit.
- Go to next step: If infinite resistance
- Test for less than 2 ohms between the test points:Signal circuit terminal 2 & The other end of the circuit
- If 2 ohms or greater - Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 ohms - Replace the component:A11 Radio
- If greater than 10 V
- Ignition/Vehicle & All vehicle systems - Off
- Disconnect the electrical connector:X2 @ A11 Radio
- Ignition - On / Vehicle - In Service Mode
- Test for less than 1 V between the test points:Signal circuit terminal 2 & Ground
- If 1 V or greater - Repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
- If less than 1 V - Replace the component:A11 Radio
- Go to next step: If between 8 and 10 V
- Test for less than 1 V between the test points:Low Reference circuit terminal 1 & Ground
- If greater than 1 V
- Ignition/Vehicle & All vehicle systems - Off
- Disconnect the electrical connector:X2 @ A11 Radio
- Ignition - On / Vehicle - In Service Mode
- Test for less than 1 V between the test points:Low Reference circuit terminal 1 & Ground
- If 1 V or greater - Repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
- If less than 1 V - Replace the component:A11 Radio
- Go to next step: If less than 1 V
- Ignition/Vehicle & All vehicle systems - Off
- Disconnect the electrical connector:X2 @ A11 Radio
- Test for infinite resistance between the test points:Low Reference circuit terminal 1 & Ground
- If less than infinite resistance
Repair the short to ground on the circuit.
- Go to next step: If infinite resistance
- If less than infinite resistance
- Test for less than 2 ohms between the test points:Low Reference circuit terminal 1 & The other end of the circuit
- If 2 ohms or greater
Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- Go to next step: If less than 2 ohms
Go to next step: Replace the appropriate component:B77 Radio Volume Compensator Interior Noise Microphone
- If 2 ohms or greater
- Ignition - On / Vehicle - In Service Mode
- Verify that no DTC listed in the DTC Descriptor Category is set.
- If a related DTC is set
Replace the component:A11 Radio
- Go to next step: If a DTC was not set
- If a related DTC is set
- All OK.
