Normal Operation
The audio unit communicates with the scan tool through the medium speed controller area network (MS-CAN). Circuits 1847 (WH/OG) (MS-CAN +) and 1848 (PK/OG) (MS-CAN -) provide the network connection to the audio unit. The audio unit shares the MS-CAN network with the smart junction box (SJB), the satellite radio receiver (if equipped), and the instrument cluster. Voltage for the audio unit is provided by circuits 687 (GY/YE) and 729 (RD/WH). Circuit 1204 (BK/OG) provides ground.
