- Ignition OFF, disconnect the X2 harness connector at the radio.
- Radio ON, test for 5.0-7.5 volts between the signal circuit terminal 1 and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the DRR.
- 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 DRR.
- Test for 5.0-7.5 volts between the signal circuit terminal 2 and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the DRR.
- 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 DRR.
- Test for 5.0-7.5 volts between the signal circuit terminal 9 and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the DRR.
- 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 DRR.
- Test for 5.0-7.5 volts between the signal circuit terminal 10 and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the DRR.
- 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 DRR.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the radio.
