Radio

The following components supply voltage to the radio at all times:

    • The RDO BATT fuse 19
    • CKT 340 (ORN)

CKT 340 (ORN) provides voltage for the radio station and clock memory storage. Turn the ignition switch to the ACCY position or the RUN position in order to supply voltage to the radio through the RDO IGN fuse 24 and CKT 1301 (DK GRN). CKT 1050 (BLK) provides the ground path to G203 and G204.

When the headlamp switch is in the PARK position or the HEAD position via the following components, the radio display illumination voltage is variable:

    • The instrument panel dimmer switch
    • The ILLUM fuse 5
    • CKT 1220 (GRY)

CKT 1050 provides the ground path to G203 and G204.

Speed compensated volume, if equipped, is controlled by a vehicle speed signal provided by the powertrain control module (PCM)/vehicle control module (VCM) to the radio and through CKT 389 (DK GRN). As speed increases, so does the volume. Each notch of the control ring of the radio allows for more volume compensation.

Remote Audio Unit

For chevrolet and GMC when the radio is turned to the ON position voltage is provided to the following components:

    • CKT 340 (ORN)
    • The remote audio player

The remote audio player ground path is provided by the following components:

    • CKT 1050 (BLK) from the remote audio player to the radio
    • The radio
    • CKT 1050 (BLK) from the radio to the grounds
    • G203 and G204

For oldsmobile the following components supply voltage to the remote audio player at all times:

    • The RDO BATT fuse 19
    • CKT 340 (ORN)

The remote audio player ground path is provided by the following components:

    • CKT 1050 (BLK)
    • G203 and G204

For chevrolet and GMC (except envoy) when the headlamp switch is in the PARK position or the HEAD position via the following components, the remote audio player illumination voltage is variable:

    • The instrument panel dimmer switch
    • The ILLUM fuse 5
    • CKT 1220 (GRY) to the radio
    • The radio
    • CKT 1220 (GRY) from the radio to the remote audio player
    • The remote audio player

The data communication between the radio and the remote audio player is provided by CKT 835 (DK GRN).

The low level audio output signal from the remote audio player to the radio is provided by the following components:

    • CKT 367 (BRN/WHT) for the left channel
    • CKT 368 (DK GRN/WHT) for the right channel
    • CKT 372 (BLK/WHT) for the audio common ground

Amplifier

The following components supply voltage to the amplifier at all times:

    • The AMPF fuse 20
    • CKT 1340 (ORN)

When the radio is turned to the ON position battery voltage is available to CKT 145 (DK GRN) and the amplifier. CKT 1050 (BLK) provides the ground path to G206. The variable low level audio signals from the radio are amplified and delivered to the speakers.

The amplified audio signal to the speakers is provided by the following components:

    • CKT 511 (TAN) for the left front channel
    • CKT 512 (LT GRN) for the right front channel
    • CKT 1546 (ORNBLK) for the audio front common ground
    • CKT 599 (BRN) for the left rear channel
    • CKT 546 (DK BLU) for the right rear channel
    • CKT 1547 (DK GRN/WHT) for the audio rear common ground

Rear Seat Audio

Voltage to the rear seat audio module is provided by the following components:

    • The ignition switch (in the ACCY or the RUN position)
    • The RDO IGN fuse 24
    • CKT 1301 (DK GRN)

The voltage for button illumination is provided by the following components:

    • The headlamp switch (in the PARK position)
    • The PARK LPS fuse 5
    • CKT 2409 (BRN)

CKT 1050 (BLK) provides the ground path to G206.

Data communication is provided by CKT 1011 (DK GRN) from the rear seat audio module to the radio. This allows for control of the following features:

    • Power
    • AM/FM selection
    • Tape/CD selection
    • Radio preset/programming
    • SEEK

When the rear seat audio module is requested ON, power-on signal voltage is available to CKT 1011 (DK GRN) and the radio. The radio then supplies battery voltage to the following components:

    • CKT 314 (PNK)
    • The amplifier
    • The rear seat audio module

The voltage provides the following functions:

    • Illuminates the power-on indicator of the rear seat audio module to provide consumer visual feedback
    • Switches audio signal routing from the rear speakers to the rear seat audio module

The rear seat audio module provides two headphone jacks with volume controls for each headphone jack output. Balancing of the audio signal is not required.
