Speaker Circuit Malfunction YQ2

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Cadillac STS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Disconnect the X1 harness connector at the audio amplifier.
  2. Radio ON, test for 5.0-7.5V between the appropriate audio signal circuit terminal listed below and ground.
    • Left front low level (+) - terminal 1
    • Left front low level (-) - terminal 17
    • Right front low level (+) - terminal 2
    • Right front low level (-) - terminal 18
    • Left rear low level (+) - terminal 5
    • Left rear low level (-) - terminal 21
    • Right rear low level (+) - terminal 6
    • Right rear low level (-) - terminal 22
    • Center channel low level (+) - terminal 3
    • Center channel and subwoofer low level audio common (-) - terminal 19
    • Sub woofer low level (+) - terminal 4
    • If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the radio.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the radio.
  3. Ignition OFF, connect the X1 harness connector at the audio amplifier.
  4. Disconnect the X2 harness connector at the audio amplifier.
  5. Ignition ON, test for less than 1V between the appropriate speaker signal circuit terminal listed below and ground.
    • Front center speaker output (+) - terminal 9
    • Front center speaker output (-) - terminal 21
    • Left front woofer speaker output (+) - terminal 13
    • Left front woofer speaker output (-) - terminal 14
    • Right front woofer speaker output (+) - terminal 11
    • Right front woofer speaker output (-) - terminal 12
    • Left rear midrange speaker output (+) - terminal 7
    • Left rear midrange speaker output (-) - terminal 19
    • Right rear midrange speaker output (+) - terminal 8
    • Right rear midrange speaker output (-) - terminal 20
    • Rear subwoofer speaker output (+) - terminal 4
    • Rear subwoofer speaker output (-) - terminal 16
    • If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage.
  6. Ignition OFF, test for infinite resistance between the appropriate terminal listed below and ground.
    • Front center speaker output (+) - terminal 9
    • Front center speaker output (-) - terminal 21
    • Left front woofer speaker output (+) - terminal 13
    • Left front woofer speaker output (-) - terminal 14
    • Right front woofer speaker output (+) - terminal 11
    • Right front woofer speaker output (-) - terminal 12
    • Left rear midrange speaker output (+) - terminal 7
    • Left rear midrange speaker output (-) - terminal 19
    • Right rear midrange speaker output (+) - terminal 8
    • Right rear midrange speaker output (-) - terminal 20
    • Rear subwoofer speaker output (+) - terminal 4
    • Rear subwoofer speaker output (-) - terminal 16
    • If less than the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to ground.
  7. Reconnect all harness connectors at the amplifier. Disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate speaker.
  8. Radio ON, test for 5.0-7.5 volts between the appropriate signal circuit terminals listed below and ground.
    • Center console speaker- terminal A and B
    • Center I/P speaker- terminal A and B
    • Driver seat left- terminal A and B
    • Driver seat right- terminal A and B
    • Front tweeters- terminal A and B
    • Front speakers- terminal A and B
    • Front subwoofer speakers- terminal D and E
    • Rear compartment speakers - terminal A and B
    • Rear speakers- terminal A and B
    • Passenger seat left speaker - terminal A and B
    • Passenger seat right speaker - terminal A and B
    • Rear subwoofer - terminal Dand E
    • If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the amplifier.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the amplifier.
  9. If all circuits test normal, replace the speaker.
