Pinpoint Test

  1. CHECK THE AUDIO DSP MODULE VOLTAGE SUPPLY CIRCUITS FOR AN OPEN
    1. Ignition OFF.
    2. Disconnect: Audio DSP Module C3154C.
    3. Ignition ON.
    4. Measure:
      Audio DSP Module Ground

      6 SBP05 (GY/RD)
      G08037212
      - -

    Are the voltages greater than 11 volts? 

    1. Yes: GO to .
    2. No: VERIFY the BCM fuse 5 (20A) is OK. If OK, REPAIR the circuit in question. If not OK, REFER to the appropriate wiring diagrams to identify the possible causes of the circuit short. REFER to OEM FUSE AND RELAY INFORMATION and OEM WIRING DIAGRAMS .
  2. CHECK THE AUDIO DSP MODULE GROUND CIRCUITS FOR AN OPEN
    1. Ignition OFF.
    2. Measure:
      Audio DSP Module Ground
      G08037213
      G08037214

      14 GD348 (BK/YE)
      G08037216
      - -

    Are the resistances less than 3 ohms? 

    1. Yes: GO to .
    2. No: REPAIR the circuit in question.
  3. CHECK THE I-CAN  CIRCUITS BETWEEN THE AUDIO DSP MODULE AND THE IPC FOR AN OPEN
    1. Disconnect: Audio DSP Module C3154A.
    2. Disconnect: IPC.
    3. Measure:
      Audio DSP Module IPC

      G08037220
      26 VDB14 (VT/GY)

    Are the resistances less than 3 ohms? 

    1. Yes: GO to .
    2. No: REPAIR the circuit in question.
  4. CHECK FOR CORRECT AUDIO DSP MODULE OPERATION
    1. Ignition OFF.
    2. Disconnect and inspect the audio DSP module connectors.
    3. Repair:
      • corrosion (replace connector or terminals - clean module pins)
      • damaged or bent pins - replace terminals/pins
      • pushed-out pins - replace pins as necessary
    4. Reconnect the audio DSP module connectors. Make sure they seat and latch correctly.
    5. Operate the system and verify the concern is still present.

    Is the concern still present? 

    1. Yes: CHECK OASIS  for any applicable TSBs  . If a TSB exists for this concern, discontinue this test and follow TSB instructions. If no TSBs  address this concern, INSTALL a new audio DSP module. REFER to AUDIO DIGITAL SIGNAL PROCESSING (DSP) MODULE (Sony®Sound).
    2. No: The system is operating correctly at this time. Concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector.
