Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Cadillac XTS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate P19 speaker. Ignition ON, infotainment system ON, mute OFF.
- Test for 5 - 7 V between the appropriate signal circuit terminals listed below and ground.
- Door, I/P and Rear Surround speakers audio (-) circuit terminal 1
- Door, I/P and Rear Surround speakers audio (+) circuit terminal 2
- Subwoofer and Seat speakers audio (-) circuit terminal A
- Subwoofer and Seat speakers audio (+) circuit terminal B
- If less than 5 V
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1, X2 and X3 harness connectors at the T3 audio amplifier.
- Test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit and ground.
- If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
- Go to next step: If infinite resistance
- Test for less than 2 Ω in the signal circuit end to end.
- If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 Ω, replace the T3 audio amplifier.
- If greater than 7 V
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1, X2 and X3 harness connectors at the T3 audio amplifier. Ignition ON.
- Test for less than 1 V between the signal circuit and ground.
- If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
- If less than 1 V, replace the T3 audio amplifier.
- Go to next step: If between 5 - 7 V
- Mute OFF, play track number three (50 Hz bass test tone) from the test CD.
- Test for 49 - 51 Hz AC between the appropriate signal circuit terminals listed below and ground.
- Door, I/P and Rear Surround speakers audio (-) circuit terminal 1
- Door, I/P and Rear Surround speakers audio (+) circuit terminal 2
- Subwoofer and Seat speakers audio (-) circuit terminal A
- Subwoofer and Seat speakers audio (+) circuit terminal B
- If not between 49 - 51 Hz AC
Replace the T3 audio amplifier.
- Go to next step: If between 49 - 51 Hz AC
- Test or replace the P19 speaker.
NOTE:
In the following tests, audio signal frequencies (Hz) will be tested. To prevent misdiagnosis, the door chime must be OFF during testing. Ensure the driver door latch is closed during testing.
