Circuit Description

When the radio is powered up, the radio supplies low level audio signals to the speakers. If the vehicle is equipped with an audio amplifier, the amplifier will boost the signal sent to the speakers. The radio tests the speaker output circuits for a short to voltage or ground.

DTC Descriptors

This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTCs:

    • DTC B1025 Audio Output 1 (Left Front) Circuit
