Audio Unit Self-Diagnostic Mode - CDX6 and DM100i: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Lincoln LS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: To enter the speaker walk-around test or the audio unit self-diagnostic mode, the audio unit must be on and in radio tuner mode (AM/FM). The audio unit self-diagnostic mode can only be entered while in the speaker walk-around test.
  1. To enter the following audio unit self-diagnostic modes, press the preset button desired while in the speaker walk-around test. This aborts the speaker walk-around test and start the selected test.
  2. The audio unit self-diagnostic mode has 5 tests available:
    • Preset button 1 = Audio internal/external SELF TEST. If SELF FAIL is displayed, press TUNE > to scroll view the stored DTCs. Refer to the AUDIO UNIT DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) INDEX  in this article. If the system is OK, SELF PASS is displayed.
      • NOTE: Always document, clear, and carry out the audio unit on-demand self-test again.
    • Preset button 2 = View/clear continuous diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs). NO DTCs is displayed if no DTCs are retrieved. If DTCs FOUND is displayed, press TUNE > button to view the DTCs retrieved. Refer to the AUDIO UNIT DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) INDEX . To clear all DTCs, press the EJECT button. DTCs CLEAR is displayed.
    • Preset button 3 = SIGNAL TEST. This test measures the average strength at the current tuner setting.
    • Preset button 4 = Software configuration level. This test queries each audio system controller for its software configuration level. SOFT LEVELS is displayed upon completion of the query. Press TUNE > to scroll view the software configuration version level.
    • Preset button 5 = DISPLAY TEST. This test lights all the audio unit display segments for 5 seconds and then turns all the segments off. When the test is complete, DISPLAY TEST is displayed.
