Amplifier Interface
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Chevrolet HHR. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
A fused battery voltage circuit provides the main amplifier power. A switched 12-volt output from the radio is used to control the power - state of the amplifier. To respond quickly to audio input and control signals, the amplifier is ON in all vehicle power modes except OFF and CRANK Request. The internal amplifier bridges are fully powered and unmuted when the amplifier receives the switched 12-volt input. This type of amplifier does not have serial data communication capability, and can not set DTCs.
