B146E

B146E-CHANNEL 3 AUDIO SPEAKER OUTPUT CIRCUIT SHORTED TOGETHER





For a complete wiring diagram, refer to the wiring information Electrical Diagrams.

- When Monitored:
With the ignition on. Radio volume at 25 or higher.

- Set Condition:
The amplifier detects that the output circuits are shorted together.





1. CHECK FOR AN INTERMITTENT CONDITION
1. Turn the ignition on, then off, and then on again.
2. With the scan tool, erase Amplifier DTCs.
3. Turn the radio on.
4. Turn the volume level to 25.
5. With the scan tool, read Amplifier DTCs.

Does the scan tool display active: B146E-CHANNEL 3 AUDIO SPEAKER OUTPUT CIRCUIT SHORTED TOGETHER?

Yes

- Go To 2

No

- The conditions that caused this code to set are not present at this time. Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Body Verification Test.

2. CHECK THE OPERATION OF THE AMPLIFIED LEFT FRONT DOOR SPEAKER




1. Disconnect the Amplified Left Front Door Speaker.
2. Measure the resistance of the speaker between the two terminals.

Is the resistance of the speaker less than 1 Ohm?

Yes

- Replace the Amplified Left Front Door Speaker.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Body Verification Test.

No

- Go To 3

3. CHECK THE (X153) AMPLIFIED LEFT FRONT DOOR SPEAKER (+) CIRCUIT, AND THE (X155) AMPLIFIED LEFT FRONT DOOR SPEAKER (-) CIRCUITS FOR A SHORT TOGETHER




1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Disconnect the Amplifier C2 harness connector.
3. Measure the resistance between the (X153) Amplified Left Front Door Speaker (+) circuit, and the (X155) Amplified Left Front Door Speaker (-) circuit.

Is the resistance below 10K Ohms?

Yes

- Repair the (X153) Amplified Left Front Door Speaker (+) circuit, and the (X155) Amplified Left Front Door Speaker (-) circuit for a short together.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Body Verification Test.

No

- Replace the amplifier.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Body Verification Test.
