Theory of Operation

The Telematics Gateway (TGW) controls and monitors both the (X712) microphone 1 input circuit (+) and the (X792) microphone 1 input circuit (-) for a concern. The TGW communicates over the CAN-AT Bus and the CAN-Interior Bus. The microphone is located in the rearview mirror.

- When Monitored:
With the ignition on.

- Set Condition:
The TGW detects the (X712) Microphone 1 IN (+) circuit is shorted to the (X792) Microphone 1 IN (-) circuit for greater than 10 seconds.





1. CHECK FOR ACTIVE DTC

NOTE: Verify the connection of the Rearview Mirror harness connector.

1. Turn the ignition on.
2. With the scan tool, read the active DTCs.

Does the scan tool display: B143A-2B-MICROPHONE 1 - WIRES SHORTED TOGETHER as active?

Yes

- Go To 2

No

- Test complete, the condition or conditions that originally set this DTC are not present at this time. Using the wiring diagrams as a guide, check all related splices and connectors for signs of water intrusion, corrosion, pushed out or bent terminals and correct pin tension.

3. CHECK THE (X712) MICROPHONE 1 IN (+) AND THE (X792) MICROPHONE 1 IN (-) CIRCUITS FOR A SHORT TOGETHER
1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Disconnect the TGW harness connector.
3. Measure the resistance between the (X712) Microphone 1 IN (+) circuit, and the (X792) Microphone 1 IN (-) circuit.

Is the resistance below 10K Ohms?

Yes

- Repair the (X712) Microphone 1 IN (+) and the (X792) Microphone 1 IN (-) circuits for a short together.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Body Verification Test.
