Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Cadillac CTS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 and X2 connectors at the amplifier.
- Radio ON, test for less than 1 volt between the appropriate signal circuit terminal listed below and ground:
- Left front tweeter speaker output (+) - terminal 4 X2
- Left front tweeter speaker output (-) - terminal 5 X2
- Right front tweeter speaker output (+) - terminal 7 X2
- Right front tweeter speaker output (-) - terminal 6 X2
- Left rear speaker output (+) - terminal 16 X2
- Left rear speaker output (-) - terminal 8 X2
- Right rear speaker output (+) - terminal 15 X2
- Right rear speaker output (-) - terminal 14 X2
- Front center speaker output (+) - terminal 13 X2
- Front center speaker output (-) - terminal 12 X2
- Left rear subwoofer speaker output (+) - terminal 5 X1
- Left rear subwoofer speaker output (-) - terminal 6 X1
- Right front speaker output (+) - terminal 7 X1
- Right front speaker output (-) - terminal 3 X1
- Left front speaker output (+) - terminal 1 X1
- Left front speaker output (-) - terminal 2 X1
- Right front speaker output (+) - terminal 7 X1
- Right front speaker output (-) - terminal 3 X1
- Left rear midrange speaker output (+) - terminal 11 X2
- Left rear midrange speaker output (-) - terminal 10 X2
- If greater than the specified range, test both circuits of the affected speaker for a short to voltage.
- Radio ON, test for greater than 1 ohm between the appropriate signal circuit terminal listed below and ground:
- Left front tweeter speaker output (+) - terminal 4 X2
- Left front tweeter speaker output (-) - terminal 5 X2
- Right front tweeter speaker output (+) - terminal 7 X2
- Right front tweeter speaker output (-) - terminal 6 X2
- Left rear speaker output (+) - terminal 16 X2
- Left rear speaker output (-) - terminal 8 X2
- Right rear speaker output (+) - terminal 15 X2
- Right rear speaker output (-) - terminal 14 X2
- Front center speaker output (+) - terminal 13 X2
- Front center speaker output (-) - terminal 12 X2
- Left rear subwoofer speaker output (+) - terminal 5 X1
- Left rear subwoofer speaker output (-) - terminal 6 X1
- Right front speaker output (+) - terminal 7 X1
- Right front speaker output (-) - terminal 3 X1
- Left front speaker output (+) - terminal 1 X1
- Left front speaker output (-) - terminal 2 X1
- Right front speaker output (+) - terminal 7 X1
- Right front speaker output (-) - terminal 3 X1
- Left rear midrange speaker output (+) - terminal 11 X2
- Left rear midrange speaker output (-) - terminal 10 X2
- If less than the specified range, test both circuits of the affected speaker for a short to ground.
- If all circuits test normal, reconnect all harness connectors at the amplifier.
- Ignition ON, radio ON, disconnect the appropriate speaker.
- Test for 5.0-7.5 volts between the signal circuit terminals and ground.
- If less then the specified range test the circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the amplifier.
- If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the appropriate speaker.
