B1465-11-CHANNEL 2 AUDIO SPEAKER OUTPUT - CIRCUIT SHORT TO GROUND





For a complete wiring diagram, refer to the Wiring Information.

Theory of Operation

The (X208) Right Front Tweeter (+) circuit and the (X298) Right Front Tweeter (-) circuit are outputs of the Amplifier. The Amplifier controls and monitors these circuits for a concern when the ignition is cycled on.

For a detailed description of the Audio System. Audio And Video - Description.

For additional information regarding the operation of the Audio System. Audio And Video - Operation.

- When Monitored:
When the ignition is cycled on.

- Set Condition:
The Amplifier detects a shorted to ground condition on the speaker output circuit when the ignition is cycled on.





1. CHECK FOR AN INTERMITTENT CONDITION
1. Turn the ignition on and open one of the front doors.

NOTE: A front door must remain open whenever checking or erasing Amplifier DTCs.

2. Using the scan tool, record and erase the Amplifier DTCs.
