Circuit/System Testing

2008 Chevrolet Chevy Express G3500, Van Passenger ExtendedSECTION Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Cadillac STS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
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.
  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 and X4(UX8 only) harness connectors at the Radio.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. If all circuits test normal, replace the Radio.

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

  • β€’ You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
  • β€’ Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • β€’ The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • β€’ You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • β€’ You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
