- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the right steering wheel control switch.
- Ignition ON, radio ON, test for 9.8-10.2 volts between the voltage reference circuit terminal 2 and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the voltage reference circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the radio.
- If less than the specified range, test the voltage reference circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the radio.
- Test for greater than 9 volts between the voltage reference circuit terminal 2 and the signal circuit terminal 4.
- If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the radio.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the radio.
- Test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit terminal 4 and ground.
