IMPORTANT:
Verify the DVD player in the radio is operating normally before performing this diagnostic procedure. If there is any problems with operating the DVD player with a known good DVD, replace the Navigation Radio.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 and X4(UX8 only) harness connectors at the Radio.
- Ignition ON, test for less then 1 volt between the appropriate signal circuit terminals listed below and ground.
- Left auxiliary audio signal (+) - terminal 1 X1
- Right auxiliary audio signal (+) - terminal 2 X1
- Drain wire (-) - terminal 7 X1
- Auxiliary video high signal (+) - terminal 9 (UY5) X1
- Drain wire (+) - terminal 8 (UY5) X1
- Auxiliary video high signal (+) - terminal 14 (UX8) X4
- Drain wire (+) - terminal 13 (UX8) X4
- If greater then specified range, test the circuit for a short to voltage.
- Test for infinite resistance between the terminals listed below and ground.
- Left auxiliary audio signal (+) - terminal 1 X1
- Right auxiliary audio signal (+) - terminal 2 X1
- Drain wire (-) - terminal 7 X1
- Auxiliary video high signal (+) - terminal 9 (UY5) X1
- Drain wire (+) - terminal 8 (UY5) X1
- Auxiliary video high signal (+) - terminal 14 (UX8) X4
- Drain wire (+) - terminal 13 (UX8) X4
- If less then the specified value, test the circuit for a short to ground.
- Test for less then 5 ohm between the terminals on the radio harness connector and the external terminals on the audio/video adaptor listed below:
- Left auxiliary audio signal (+) - terminal 1 X1 and the inside of the center (white) jack
- Right auxiliary audio signal (+) - terminal 2 X1 and the inside of the right (red) jack
- Drain wire (-) - terminal 7 X1 and the outside of both the center (white), and the right (red) jacks
- Auxiliary video high signal (+) - terminal 9 (UY5) X1 and the inside of the left (yellow) jack
- Drain wire (+) - terminal 8 (UY5) X1 and the outside of the left (yellow) jack
- Auxiliary video high signal (+) - terminal 14 (UX8) X4 and the inside of the left (yellow) jack
- Drain wire (+) - terminal 13 (UX8) X4 and the outside of the left (yellow) jack
- If greater then the specified value, test the circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the adaptor.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the Radio.
