Without Amplifier (UQ3)
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate speaker.
- Radio ON, test for 5.0-7.5 volts between the speaker circuit terminal A and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the speaker circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the radio.
- If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the radio.
- Test for 5.0-7.5 volts between the speaker circuit terminal B and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the speaker circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the radio.
- If less than the specified range, test the speaker circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the radio.
- If the vehicle is equipped with UK6 Rear Seat Audio and the concern is with a rear speaker, Test the speaker circuits between the radio and the RSA control.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the speaker.
