Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Cadillac DTS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the X3 harness connector at the amplifier.
- Ignition ON, radio ON, test for 0.6-1.0 volts at the radio audio mute signal X3 terminal 7 and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the radio.
- If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the radio.
- Press the phone mute button on the steering wheel control switch. Test for 6.0-8.0 volts at the radio audio mute signal X3 terminal 7 and ground.
- If not within the specified range, replace the radio.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the amplifier.
