Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Audio Control Module (ACM)
The Audio Control Module (ACM) can be operated with the ignition in RUN or ACC. The accessory delay feature allows the audio system to be operated for a preset period of time after the ignition is turned off and a front door has not been opened. The ACM sends AC voltage audio signals to the speakers or to the amplifier, depending on vehicle configuration. The ACM can produce its own DTCs, which can be communicated to the scan tool through the Medium Speed Controller Area Network (MS-CAN).
