Circuit/System Testing

  1. Vehicle OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate P19 Speaker. Vehicle in Service Mode, radio ON, mute OFF.
  2. Test for 5-7 V between each audio signal circuit terminal 1 and terminal 2 and ground.
    • If less than 5 V 
    1. Vehicle OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the A11 Radio.
    2. Test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit and ground.
      • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • If infinite resistance
    3. Test for less than 2 Ω in the signal circuit end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, replace the A11 Radio.
    • If greater than 7 V 
    1. Vehicle OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the A11 Radio. Vehicle in Service Mode.
    2. Test for less than 1 V between the signal circuit and ground.
      • If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
      • If less than 1 V, replace the A11 Radio.
    • If between 5-7 V 
    3. NOTE:

    In the following tests, audio signal frequencies (Hz) will be tested. To prevent misdiagnosis, the door chime must be OFF during testing. Ensure the driver door latch is closed during testing.

  3. Insert the EL-50334-6 Audio Test CD from the EL-50334-50  USB cable and adapter kit. Play track number three (50 Hz bass test tone) from the test CD.
  4. Test for 49-51 Hz AC between each signal circuit terminal 1 and terminal 2 and ground.
    • If not between 49-51 Hz AC 

      Replace the A11 Radio.

    • If between 49-51 Hz AC 
  5. Test or replace the P19 Speaker.
