Make sure the battery is fully charged before proceeding.
- CHECK FOR AN ACTIVE DTC
- With the scan tool, record and erase the Amplifier DTCs.
- Start the engine.
- Allow the engine to idle for two minutes.
- With the scan tool, read Amplifier DTCs.
Is the DTC active?
Yes
- Go To 3
No
- The condition or conditions that originally set this DTC are not present at this time. Using the wiring diagrams as a guide, check all related splices and connectors for signs of water intrusion, corrosion, pushed out or bent terminals, and correct pin tension. If no problems are found, test complete.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .
- CHECK THE (A931) FUSED B(+) CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN OR EXCESSIVE RESISTANCE NOTE:
Check the AMPLIFIER fuse for an open. If the fuse is open, make sure to check for a short to ground prior to replacing the fuse.
- Turn the ignition off.
- Disconnect the Amplifier C1 harness connector.
- Turn the ignition on.
- With a 12-volt test light connected to ground, check the (A931) Fused B(+) circuit at the Amplifier C1 harness connector.NOTE:
The test light must illuminate brightly. Compare the brightness to that of a direct connection to the battery.
Does the test light illuminate brightly?
Yes
- Go To 4
No
