Auxiliary Audio Input Jack

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the X83 Auxiliary Audio Input. Ignition ON, infotainment system ON.
  2. Test for 2.5 - 3.5 V between the signal circuit terminal 5 and ground.
    • If less than 2.5 V 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the A11 Radio.
    2. Test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit and ground.
      • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • Go to next step: If infinite resistance
    3. Test for less than 2 Ω in the signal circuit end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, replace the A11 Radio.
    • If greater than 3.5 V 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the A11 Radio, ignition ON.
    2. Test for less than 1 V between the detection circuit and ground.
      • If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
      • If less than 1 V, replace the A11 Radio.
    • Go to next step: If between 2.5 - 3.5 V 
  3. Test for less than 1 V between the signal circuits listed below and ground:
    • Left auxiliary audio signal circuit terminal 1
    • Right auxiliary audio signal circuit terminal 2
    • Auxiliary audio common signal circuit terminal 3
    • If 1 V or greater 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the A11 Radio. Ignition ON.
    2. Test for less than 1 V between the signal circuit and ground.
      • If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
      • If less than 1 V, replace the A11 Radio.
    • Go to next step: If less than 1 V 
  4. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the A11 Radio.
  5. Test for infinite resistance between the signal circuits listed below and ground:
    • Auxiliary audio common signal circuit terminal 8
    • Left auxiliary audio signal circuit terminal 9
    • Right auxiliary audio signal circuit terminal 10
    • If less than infinite resistance 

      Repair the short to ground on the circuit.

    • Go to next step: If infinite resistance 
  6. Test for less than 5 Ω between the signal circuit terminals listed below:
    • A11 Radio signal circuit terminal 9 X1 and the X83 Auxiliary Audio Input signal circuit terminal 1 X1
    • A11 Radio signal circuit terminal 10 X1 and the X83 Auxiliary Audio Input signal circuit terminal 2 X1
    • A11 Radio signal circuit terminal 8 X1 and the X83 Auxiliary Audio Input signal circuit terminal 3 X1
    • If 5 Ω or greater 

      Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.

    • Go to next step: If less than 5 Ω 
  7. Replace the X83 Auxiliary Audio Input. Connect all harness connectors.
  8. Connect the EL-50334-20 Multi-Media Interface Tester (MIT) to the X83 Auxiliary Audio Input 3.5 mm (1/8 in.) input jack and select the AUX test mode.
  9. Verify the audio from the EL-50334-20 Multi-Media Interface Tester (MIT) is heard through the infotainment system while operating the system to play audio from the test tool.
    • If audio is not heard from the test tool 

      Replace the A11 Radio.

    • Go to next step: If audio is heard from the test tool 
  10. All OK.
