Circuit/System Testing

NOTE: The ignition circuit supplied by the radio controls the Display Module, Display Module Actuator, Antenna module, and Audio Amplifier (UQA). Each of the modules/components will need to be disconnected if the ignition circuit test fails for a short to voltage or short to ground. Disconnect one module/component at a time while testing the ignition circuit for a short to voltage or short to ground. If the fault is no longer present when disconnecting a module/component replace that module/component. If the fault is still present with all the modules/components disconnected, repair the circuit.

Display Power/Display Actuator Malfunction

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect one of the connectors listed below at an inoperative module/component:
    • Antenna Module
    • Radio/HVAC Display X1
    • Radio/HVAC Display X2
    • Audio Amplifier X3 (UQA only)
  2. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the ignition circuit terminal listed below and ground.
    • Antenna Module - terminal 1
    • Radio/HVAC Display X1 - terminal 4
    • Radio/HVAC Display X2 - terminal 3
    • Audio Amplifier (UQA only) - terminal 8
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the ignition circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal replace the radio.
  3. If all circuits test normal, replace the module/component that was disconnected in step 1.
