Diagnostic Test
- CHECK FOR AN INTERMITTENT CONDITION
- Turn the ignition on and open one of the front doors.NOTE: A front door must remain open whenever checking or erasing Amplifier DTCs.
- With the scan tool, record and erase the Amplifier DTCs.
- With the scan tool, reset the amplifier.
- Turn the radio on.
- Turn the volume level to 25.
- Adjust the speakers to the front and center.
- With the scan tool, read the active Amplifier DTCs.
Does the scan tool display active: B1469-CHANNEL 2 AUDIO SPEAKER OUTPUT CIRCUIT SHORTED TOGETHER?
Yes
- Go to step 2
No
- Test complete, the condition or conditions that originally set this DTC are not present at this time. Using the SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS as a guide, check all related splices and connectors for signs of water intrusion, corrosion, pushed out or bent terminals and correct pin tension.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Totally Integrated Power (TIPM) - Standard Procedure .
- Turn the ignition on and open one of the front doors.
- CHECK THE OPERATION OF THE RIGHT INSTRUMENT PANEL SPEAKER
- Turn the ignition off.
- Disconnect the Right Instrument Panel Speaker harness connector.
- Measure the resistance of the speaker between the two terminals.NOTE: The graphic shows the connector for reference only. Measure between the speaker terminals.
Is the resistance of the speaker less than 1 Ohm?
Yes
- Replace the Right I/P Speaker in accordance with the Service Information.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Totally Integrated Power (TIPM) - Standard Procedure .
No
