DTC B1024 Radio

Diagnostic Instructions

    • Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle prior to using this diagnostic procedure.
    • Review Strategy Based Diagnosis for an overview of the diagnostic approach.
    •  Diagnostic Procedure Instructions provides an overview of each diagnostic category.

DTC Descriptor

DTC B1024 11: Circuit Board Temperature Sensor above maximum threshold

Circuit/System Description

The internal amplifier circuitry is monitored for temperature. If the amplifier senses an over-heat condition higher than 95[ordm ]C (203[ordm ]F) of the internal circuitry, the amplifier will shut down until the internal circuitry cools below 90[ordm ]C (194[ordm ]F).

Conditions for Running the DTC

The following are conditions that must be present in order for the radio to enable the diagnostics:

The radio is in ACCESSORY, RUN or RAP power mode.

The ignition voltage is between 9-16 volts.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

Amplifier senses an over-heat condition higher than 95[ordm ]C (203[ordm ]F) of the internal circuitry.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

Amplifier mutes all speaker channels.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

The condition for setting the DTC is no longer present.

A history DTC clears after 40 malfunction free ignition cycles.

The scan tool clear DTC function is used to clear the DTC.

Circuit/System Testing

The amplifier could operate normally at a reasonably high volume for an extended period of time. Extended use of extremely high volume, especially in warm weather conditions, may induce this DTC. Under these conditions it may be normal for this DTC to set to prevent permanent damage to the amplifier circuitry.

Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.

DTC Descriptor

DTC B1024: Circuit Board Temperature Sensor Exceeding Limits

Circuit/System Description

There is a temperature sensor monitoring the internal circuit temperature inside the TV antenna module.

Conditions for Running the DTC

TV system works.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The internal circuit of TV antenna module detects the temperature exceeds the limits.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The TV system does not work when this DTC is present.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

    • The conditions for setting the DTC are not present.
    •  The history DTC clears after 50 malfunction-free ignition cycles.
    • The scan tool clear DTC function is used to clear the DTC.
