Circuit Description
The infrared transmitter module contains infrared transmitters for the wireless headphones and the infrared receiver for the video system remote control. The audio that is sent over the DVD audio signal circuits is a varying AC voltage. The infrared transmitter module processes the signal and transmits the audio signals to the headphones. If the display is in the closed position, the infrared signals will not be available for the operation of the wireless headphones and the remote control.

Circuit/System Verification
Note: Test or replace the headphone batteries before performing the circuit/system verification.
- Turn ON the wireless headphones. Verify the power indicator lamp on the wireless headphone illuminates.
- With the Radio ON, DVD playing, verify all of the headphones are working properly.
| ⇒ | If the power indicator lamp does not illuminate, replace the wireless headphones. |
| ⇒ | If all of the headphones are inoperative, or the sound is distorted, refer to Circuit/System Testing. |
| ⇒ | If only one of the headphones is not producing sound, or the sound is distorted, replace the appropriate set of headphones. |
Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the infrared transmitter module.
- Test for less than 5 Ω between the ground circuit terminal 12 and ground.
- Ignition ON, test for B+ between the accessory voltage circuit terminal 4 and ground.
- DVD playing, test for AC voltage between the following signal circuit terminals listed below and ground.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the infrared transmitter module.
| ⇒ | If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance. |
| ⇒ | If less than the specified range, test the accessory voltage circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. |
| • | Left DVD audio signal (+) - terminal 1 |
| • | DVD audio common (-) - terminal 2 |
| • | Right DVD audio signal (+) - terminal 3 |
| ⇒ | If AC voltage is not present, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage, short to ground, or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the radio. |
