  3. Insert the EL-50334-6 Audio Test CD from the EL-50334-50   EL-50334-50  USB Cable and Adapter Kit.
  4. Mute OFF, play track number three (50 Hz bass test tone) from the test CD. Test for 49-51 Hz AC between the appropriate audio signal circuit terminals listed below and ground.
    • Door speaker terminal A
    • Door speaker terminal B
