REMOTE RADIO SWITCHES INOPERATIVE (IF EQUIPPED) - DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

TEST	ACTION
1	Turn the ignition on. NOTE: Check the CTM for DTCs. If any DTCs are present, perform those symptoms first before continuing. With the DRB, attempt to communicate with the Radio. Was the DRB able to communicate with the Radio? Yes --> Go To 2 No --> Refer to the COMMUNICATION category and perform the appropriate symptom. Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 .
2	Turn the ignition on. Turn the Radio on. Operate all the remote radio switch functions. Is only one function or one switch not operating properly? Yes --> Repair the ground circuit or the radio control MUX circuit for an open between the inoperative switch and the clockspring. If OK, replace the remote radio switch. Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 . No --> Go To 3
3	WARNING: To avoid personal injury or death, turn the ignition off, disconnect the battery and wait 2 minutes before proceeding. CAUTION: Do not place an intact undeployed airbag module face down on a hard surface, the airbag module will propel into the air if accidently deployed. Remove the Driver Airbag Module.Disconnect the Left Remote Radio Switch harness connector.Turn the ignition on, reconnect the battery.With the DRB, enter Body Computer then Sensors and monitor the Radio Control SW voltage.Is the voltage above 3.2 volts? Yes --> Replace the Left Remote Radio Switch. Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 . No --> Go To 4
4	WARNING: To avoid personal injury or death, turn the ignition off, disconnect the battery and wait 2 minutes before proceeding. CAUTION: Do not place an intact undeployed airbag module face down on a hard surface, the airbag module will propel into the air if accidently deployed. Remove the Driver Airbag Module.Disconnect the Right Remote Radio Switch harness connector.Turn the ignition on, reconnect the battery.With the DRB, enter Body Computer then Sensors and monitor the Radio Control SW voltage.Is the voltage above 3.2 volts? Yes --> Replace the Right Remote Radio Switch. Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 . No --> Go To 5
5	Turn the ignition off. Disconnect the Clockspring C4 harness connector. Turn the ignition on. With the DRB, enter Body Computer then Sensors and monitor the Radio Control SW voltage. Is the voltage above 3.2 volts? Yes --> Go To 6 No --> Go To 7
6	Turn the ignition off. Disconnect the Clockspring C4 harness connector. NOTE: Ensure both remote radio switches are disconnected. Measure the resistance between ground and the Radio Control MUX circuit at the clockspring C4 harness connector. Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms? Yes --> Repair the Radio Control MUX circuit for a short to ground between the clockspring and the remote radio switches. Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 . No --> Repair the Radio Control MUX circuit for a short to the Ground circuit between the clockspring and the remote radio switches. Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 .
7	Turn the ignition off. Disconnect the Clockspring C1 harness connector. Turn the ignition on. With the DRB, enter Body Computer then Sensors and monitor the Radio Control SW voltage. Is the voltage above 3.2 volts? Yes --> Replace the Clockspring in accordance with the service information. Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 . No --> Go To 8
8	Tarn the ignition off. Disconnect the Clockspring C1 harness connector. Disconnect the CTM C1 harness connector. Measure the resistance between ground and the Radio Control MUX circuit. Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms? Yes --> Repair the Radio Control MUX circuit for a short to ground between the clockspring and the CTM. Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 . No --> Replace the Central Timer Module in accordance with the service information. Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 .
