Satellite Audio Bezel Diagnostic Test

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Mercury Mariner and 2008 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: To enter the satellite audio bezel diagnostic test, the audio control module (ACM) must be on and in SAT mode.
  1. To enter the satellite audio bezel diagnostic test, simultaneously press and hold the SAT button and preset button 2 (except navigation), or press SOUND and preset button 1 (navigation).
  2. Upon entering the self-test, the ACM produces 2 continuously alternating tones of different pitch, one for the right channel, then one for the left.
  3. The test continues by displaying any DTCs currently present. If no DTCs are present, NO DTCS will be displayed. If there are DTCs present, the FDIM (or ACM) will auto-scroll through the list of active DTCs.
  4. Historical DTCs can be viewed by pressing the SAT button and preset button 2 (except navigation), or SOUND and preset button 1 (navigation) while in the active DTC mode.
    • If any DTCs are present, pressing the SAT button and preset button 2 (except navigation), or SOUND and preset button 1 (navigation) will prompt CLEAR DTCS? to be displayed.
    • To clear historical DTCs, press preset buttons 1, 2, and 3 consecutively within 4 seconds.
    • To exit historical DTCs (with or without clearing DTCs), press the SAT button and preset button 2 simultaneously.
  5. If no historical DTCs are present, pressing the SAT button and preset button 2 (except navigation), or SOUND and preset button 1 (navigation) simultaneously while in active DTC mode will display the DLP software version.
  6. To exit the satellite audio bezel diagnostic test, press the SAT button and preset button 2 (except navigation), or SOUND and preset button 1 (navigation) simultaneously while the DLP software version is displayed, or turn the ACM off.
  7. If the concern remains and the fault is not detected, go to Symptom Chart - Audio System .
