Circuit/System Testing

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 GMC Acadia Limited, 2017 Chevrolet Traverse, and 2017 Buick Enclave. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
IMPORTANT:

Verify the DVD player in the radio is operating normally before performing this diagnostic procedure. If there is any problems with operating the DVD player, refer to Symptoms - Entertainment 

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X3 harness connector at the radio.
  2. Ignition ON, test for less then 1 volt between the appropriate signal circuit terminals listed below and ground.
    • Auxiliary audio left signal (+) - terminal 1
    • Auxiliary audio right signal (+) - terminal 2
    • Auxiliary audio drain wire (-) - terminal 9
    • Auxiliary video signal (+) - terminal 8
    • Auxiliary video drain wire (+) - terminal 16
    • If greater then specified range, test the circuit for a short to voltage.
  3. Test for infinite resistance between the terminals listed below and ground.
    • Auxiliary audio left signal (+) - terminal 1
    • Auxiliary audio right signal (+) - terminal 2
    • Auxiliary audio drain wire (-) - terminal 9
    • Auxiliary video signal (+) - terminal 8
    • Auxiliary video drain wire (+) - terminal 16
    • If less then the specified value, test the circuit for a short to ground.
  4. Test for less then 5 ohm between the terminals on the radio X3 harness connector and the external terminals on the audio/video adaptor listed below:
    • Auxiliary audio left signal (+) - terminal 1 and the inside of the center (white) jack
    • Auxiliary audio right signal (+) - terminal 2 and the inside of the right (red) jack
    • Auxiliary audio drain wire (-) - terminal 9 and the outside of both the center (white), and the right (red) jacks
    • Auxiliary video signal (+) - terminal 8 and the inside of the left (yellow) jack
    • Auxiliary video drain wire (+) - terminal 16 and the outside of the left (yellow) jack
    • If greater then the specified value, test the circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the adaptor.
  5. If all circuits test normal, replace the radio.
