DTC Descriptor

DTC 1287
- External Amp Control

Diagnostic Fault Information






Circuit/System Description

The radio provides a remote amp mute output circuit to control overall muting of remote non-GMLAN amplifiers with rear seat audio (RSA) applications. The amplifier receives PWM signals on the circuit at varying duty cycle percentages for controlling the muted and unmuted functions of the amplifier. The RSA enable circuit in the radio enables the rear seat channel muting of the amplifier. A diagnostic sense circuit internal to the radio monitors the remote amp mute circuit for faults and sets the appropriate DTC when detected.

Conditions for Running the DTC

The following are conditions that must be present in order for the radio to enable the diagnostics.

* The radio is in ACCESSORY, RUN, or RAP power mode.
* The system voltage is at least 9 volts and no more than 16 volts.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

Circuit failure 400 ms after radio activates Remote Enable.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The radio sets the DTC and continues normal operation.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

* The condition must be corrected.
* A history DTC clears after 100 malfunction-free ignition cycles.

Circuit/System Verification

Verify the audio system performance by adjusting the fade and balance of the speaker outputs.

Circuit/System Testing

1. Ignition OFF, test the speaker output circuits between the amplifier and speakers for an open, a short to voltage or a short to ground.
2. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the amplifier.

Repair Instructions
