DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - SPEAKER
Any diagnosis of the Audio system should
begin with the use of the DRB III
tool. For information on the use of the DRB
III , refer to the appropriate Diagnostic Service
Manual.
Refer to the appropriate wiring information. The
wiring information includes wiring diagrams, proper
wire and connector repair procedures, details of wire
harness routing and retention, connector pin-out
information and location views for the various wire
harness connectors, splices and grounds.
WARNING: DISABLE
BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY STEERING WHEEL,
STEERING COLUMN, SEAT BELT TENSIONER, SIDE
AIRBAG, OR INSTRUMENT PANEL COMPONENT
DIAGNOSIS OR SERVICE. DISCONNECT AND ISO-
LATE THE BATTERY NEGATIVE (GROUND) CABLE,
THEN WAIT TWO MINUTES FOR THE AIRBAG SYS-
TEM CAPACITOR TO DISCHARGE BEFORE PER-
FORMING FURTHER DIAGNOSIS OR SERVICE. THIS
IS THE ONLY SURE WAY TO DISABLE THE AIRBAG
SYSTEM. FAILURE TO TAKE THE PROPER PRE-
CAUTIONS COULD RESULT IN ACCIDENTAL AIR-
BAG DEPLOYMENT AND POSSIBLE PERSONAL
INJURY.
CAUTION: The speaker output of the radio is a
"floating ground" system. Do not allow any speaker
lead to short to ground, as damage to the radio
may result.
(1) If all speakers are inoperative, check the radio
fuses in the junction block. If OK, go to Step 2. If not
OK, repair the shorted circuit or component as
required and replace the faulty fuse.
(2) Check the amplifier fuse (if equipped) in the
junction block. If OK, go to Step 3. If not OK, repair
the shorted circuit or component as required and
replace the faulty fuse.
(3) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
Turn the radio receiver ON. Adjust the balance and
fader control controls to check the performance of
each individual speaker. Note the speaker locations
that are not performing correctly. Go to Step 4.
(4) Turn the radio receiver OFF. Turn the ignition
OFF. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable. If vehicle is not equipped with a amplifier,
remove the radio receiver. If vehicle is equipped with
an amplifier. disconnect wire harness connector at
output side of amplifier. Go to Step 5.
(5) Check both the speaker feed (+) circuit and
return (-) circuit cavities for the inoperative speaker
at the wire harness connector for continuity to
ground. There should be no continuity. If OK, go to
diagnostic
THE AIRBAG SYSTEM
Step 6. If not OK, repair the shorted speaker feed (+)
and/or return (-) circuits(s) to the speaker as
required.
(6) Disconnect wire harness connector at the inop-
erative speaker. Check for continuity between the
speaker feed (+) circuit cavities of the radio receiver
wire harness connector or if equipped, the amplifier
wire harness connector and the speaker wire harness
connector. Repeat the check between the speaker
return (-) circuit cavities of the radio receiver wire
harness connector and the speaker wire harness con-
nector. In each case, there should be continuity. If
OK, replace the faulty speaker. If not OK, repair the
open speaker feed (+) and/or return (-) circuits(s) as
required.
