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, erase the DTCs.
- With the scan tool, reset the Amplifier.
- Turn the radio on and set the volume at 25.
- Adjust the speakers to the rear and center.
- Adjust the Bass to mid level.
- With the scan tool, read the active DTCs.
Does the scan tool display: B1481-CHANNEL 7 AUDIO SPEAKER OUTPUT CIRCUIT OPEN?
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 SUBWOOFER SPEAKER
- Turn the ignition off.
- Disconnect the Subwoofer Speaker harness connector.
- Turn the ignition on.
- Turn the radio on with the same settings as in the previous step.
- With a voltmeter set to read A/C voltage, measure the voltage of the Amplified Subwoofer 1 circuits in the Subwoofer Speaker harness connector.
Is the voltage above 1 volt?
Yes
- Replace the Subwoofer 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
- Go to step 3
- CHECK THE (X300) AMPLIFIED SUBWOOFER 1 (+) CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN
- Turn the ignition off.
- Disconnect the Radio Amplifier C2 harness connector.
- Measure the resistance of the (X300) Amplified Subwoofer 1 (+) circuit between the Radio Amplifier C2 harness connector and the Subwoofer Speaker harness connector.
Is the resistance below 5.0 Ohms?
Yes
- Go to step 4
No
- Repair the (X300) Amplified Subwoofer 1 (+) circuit for an open.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Totally Integrated Power (TIPM) - Standard Procedure .

- Measure the resistance of the (X390) Amplified Subwoofer 1 (-) circuit between the Radio Amplifier C2 harness connector and the Subwoofer Speaker harness connector.
Is the resistance below 5.0 Ohms?
Yes
- Replace the Radio Amplifier in accordance with the Service Information.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Totally Integrated Power (TIPM) - Standard Procedure .
No
- Repair the (X390) Amplified Subwoofer 1 (-) circuit for an open.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Totally Integrated Power (TIPM) - Standard Procedure .
