Diagnostic Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Dodge Dakota. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NO RESPONSE FROM RADIO - DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE
| TEST | ACTION |
|---|---|
| 1 | Turn the ignition on.
NOTE:
As soon as one or more module communicates with the DRB, answer the question. With the DRB, attempt to communicate with the Instrument Cluster (MIC). With the DRB, attempt to communicate with the Central Timer Module (CTM). Was the DRB able to I/D or establish communications with either of the modules?
|
| 2 | Turn the ignition off. Remove and inspect fuse #18 in the junction block. Is the fuse open?
|
| 3 | Turn the ignition off. Replace Fuse #18 in the junction block. Turn the ignition on. Turn the Radio on. Remove and inspect fuse #18 in the junction block. Is the fuse open?
|
| 4 | Turn the ignition off. Replace fuse #18 in the junction block. Disconnect the Radio harness connector. Turn the ignition on. Remove and inspect fuse #18 in the junction block. Is the fuse open?
|
| 5 | Turn the ignition off. Disconnect the Radio harness connector. Disconnect the Junction Block C9 harness connector. Measure the resistance between ground and the Fused Ignition Switch Output circuit. Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?
|
| 6 | Turn the ignition off.
NOTE:
Ensure fuse #18 is installed in the junction block. Disconnect the Radio harness connector. Turn the ignition on. Using a 12-volt test light connected to ground, probe the Fused Ignition Switch Output circuit. Is the test light illuminated?
|
| 7 | Turn the ignition off. Disconnect the Radio harness connector. Using a 12-volt test light connected to ground, probe both Fused B+ circuits. Is the test light illuminated for both circuits?
|
| 8 | Turn the ignition off. Disconnect the Radio harness connector. Using a 12-volt test light connected to 12-volts, probe both ground circuits. Is the test light illuminated for both circuits?
|
| 9 |
NOTE:
Ensure there is PCI Bus communication with other modules on the vehicle before proceeding. If not, refer to the symptom list from the menu and repair as necessary. Disconnect the Radio harness connector.Use Scope input cable CH7058, Cable to Probe adapter CH7062, and the red and black test probes.Connect the scope input cable to the channel one connector on the DRB. Attach the red and black leads and the cable to probe adapter to the scope input cable.With the DRBIII(R) select Pep Module Tools.Select lab scope.Select Live Data.Select 12 volt square wave.Press F2 for Scope.Press F2 and use the down arrow to set voltage range to 20 volts. Press F2 again when complete.Connect the Black lead to the chassis ground. Connect the Red lead to the PCI Bus circuit in the Radio connector.Turn the ignition on.Observe the voltage display on the DRB Lab Scope.Does the voltage pulse from 0 to approximately 7.5 volts?
