Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Buick Regal. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the T3 amplifier.
- Ignition ON, radio ON, mute OFF, test for less than 1 V between the amplifier control circuit terminal 37 and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the A11 radio.
- Mute ON, test for 7.5-8.5 V between the amplifier control circuit terminal 37 and ground.
- If less than the specified range, test the control circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the A11 radio.
- If greater than the specified range, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the A11 radio.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the T3 amplifier.
