Circuit/System Testing

NOTE:

This diagnostic is only to be used when the P17 Display and the A22 Controls are separate units.

  1. Ignition/Vehicle & All vehicle systems - Off
  2. Disconnect the electrical connector: @ A22 Radio Controls
  3. Test for less than 10 ohms between the test points: Low Reference circuit terminal 4 & Ground
    • If 10 ohms or greater 
    1. Disconnect the electrical connector: X1 @ P17 Info Display Module
    2. Test for less than 2 ohms between the test points: Low Reference circuit terminal 4 & The other end of the circuit
      • If 2 ohms or greater - Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 ohms - Replace the component: P17 Info Display Module
    • Go to next step: If less than 10 ohms 
  4. Ignition/Vehicle - On
  5. Test for 3 to 3.5 V between the test points:
    • Signal circuit terminal 3 @ A22 Radio Controls & Ground
    • Signal circuit terminal 6 @ A22 Radio Controls & Ground
    • Signal circuit terminal 7 @ A22 Radio Controls & Ground
    • Signal circuit terminal 8 @ A22 Radio Controls & Ground
    • If less than 3 V 
    1. Ignition/Vehicle & All vehicle systems - Off
    2. Disconnect the electrical connector: X1 @ A11 Radio
    3. Test for infinite resistance between the test points:
      • Signal circuit terminal 3 @ A22 Radio Controls & Ground
      • Signal circuit terminal 6 @ A22 Radio Controls & Ground
      • Signal circuit terminal 7 @ A22 Radio Controls & Ground
      • Signal circuit terminal 8 @ A22 Radio Controls & Ground
      • If less than infinite resistance - Repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • Go to next step: If infinite resistance
    4. Test for less than 2 ohms between the test points:
      • Signal circuit terminal 3 @ A22 Radio Controls & Terminal 24 X1 @ A11 Radio
      • Signal circuit terminal 6 @ A22 Radio Controls & Terminal 25 X1 @ A11 Radio
      • Signal circuit terminal 7 @ A22 Radio Controls & Terminal 26 X1 @ A11 Radio
      • Signal circuit terminal 8 @ A22 Radio Controls & Terminal 27 X1 @ A11 Radio
      • If 2 ohms or greater - Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 ohms - Replace the component: A11 Radio
    • If greater than 3.5 V 
    1. Ignition/Vehicle & All vehicle systems - Off
    2. Disconnect the electrical connector: X1 @ A11 Radio
    3. Test for less than 1 V between the test points:
      • Signal circuit terminal 3 @ A22 Radio Controls & Ground
      • Signal circuit terminal 6 @ A22 Radio Controls & Ground
      • Signal circuit terminal 7 @ A22 Radio Controls & Ground
      • Signal circuit terminal 8 @ A22 Radio Controls & Ground
      • If greater than 1 V

        Repair the short to voltage on the circuit.

      • If less than 1 V - Replace the component: A11 Radio
    • Go to next step: If between 3 and 3.5 V 
  6. Replace the component: A22 Radio Controls
