Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2011 GMC Yukon XL, 2011 GMC Yukon, 2011 Chevrolet Tahoe, 2011 Chevrolet Suburban, and 2011 Chevrolet Avalanche. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
IMPORTANT:
This DTC can be set by either the radio or the amplifier. If the DTC was set by the radio, diagnose the appropriate audio output circuits to the speakers or the low level inputs to the amplifier (if equipped). If the DTC was set by the amplifier, diagnose audio output signals to the speakers from the amplifier. If equipped with rear seat audio (RSA) (U42), the RSA must be turned off to perform proper speaker testing.
