Diagnostic CD 07AAZ-SDBA100

Use the following tests to check sound quality.

NOTE:

Before beginning the following tests, write down the bass, the treble, the fader and the balance settings, and then set them to their center positions for testing.
Always verify the customer's complaint, and compare it a known-good vehicle of the same model and trim under the same conditions using the same inputs (iPod, USB device, etc.). If the complaint is the same on the known-good vehicle, it is a system characteristic.
Also check that aftermarket speakers are not installed.
