* Diagnostic Procedure Instructions Diagnostic Procedure Instructions provides an overview of each diagnostic category.

Circuit/System Description

Display RPO UFD

The radio info display and radio controls are combined into an assembly. The assembly is supplied battery voltage and ground. The radio uses the wake up circuit to control the power state of the display. The radio controls communicate inputs internally to the display. Display backlighting dimming level, graphical data, and radio control inputs are communicated over the CGI data circuits between the display and the radio.

Display RPO UAG

The radio controls and information display are separate components from the radio. Each component is supplied battery voltage and ground. The radio uses the wake up circuit to control the power state of the display. The radio controls communicate with the info display module through the LIN serial data circuit. Display backlighting dimming level, graphical data, and radio control inputs are communicated over the CGI data circuits between the display and the radio.

Circuit/System Verification

Display RPO UFD

1. Verify no DTCs are set as current.

If any DTCs are set as current, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle.

2. Ignition ON, radio ON, verify the info display module turns on and information is shown on the display.

If the info display is inoperative, refer to Radio Information Display Malfunction - DTC U0257 (with Color Display) DTC U0257 (with Color Display)Radio Information Display Malfunction - DTC U0257 (with Monochrome Display) DTC U0257 (With Monochrome Display).

3. Verify the radio controls backlighting illuminates and that all controls perform the correct function.

If some, or all, of the radio controls do not operate normally, replace the A22 radio controls.

Display RPO UAG

1. Verify no DTCs are set as current.

If any DTCs are set as current, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle.

2. Ignition ON, radio ON, verify the radio controls backlighting illuminates and that all controls perform the correct function.

If some, but not all, controls operate normally, replace the A22 radio controls.

If all controls are inoperative, refer to Circuit/System Testing.

Circuit/System Testing

Display RPO UAG

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the A22 radio controls.

2. Test for less than 10 ohms between the ground circuit terminal 3 and ground.

If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.

3. Verify that a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal 1 and ground.

If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.

4. Ignition ON, test for 2-11.5 V between the data circuit terminal 2 and ground.

If less than the specified range, test the data circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the P17 info display module.

If greater than the specified range, test the data circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the P17 info display module.

5. If all circuits test normal, replace the A22 radio controls.
