Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Cadillac CTS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the noise compensation microphone.
- Ignition ON, test for 8.5-9.5 volts between the noise compensation microphone supply voltage circuit terminal B and ground.
- If less than the specified range, test the voltage supply circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the audio amplifier.
- If greater than the specified range, test the voltage supply circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the audio amplifier.
- Ignition ON, test for 8.5-9.5 volts between the noise compensation microphone supply voltage circuit terminal B and the drain wire circuit terminal A.
- If less than the specified range, test the drain wire circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the audio amplifier.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the noise compensation microphone.
