1. No audio output.

2. 4 Channel unmute, possible noise in speakers when radio muted or turned off



Circuit/System Description

The radio amplifier control circuit provides varying pulse width modulated (PWM) signals to control overall muting of the amplifier. The PWM signals are varying duty cycle percentages ranging from 0-100%. A low duty cycle unmutes all amplifier channels and a high duty cycle mutes all amplifier channels. The radio monitors the amplifier control circuit for faults. When a fault is detected the radio sets the appropriate DTC.

Conditions for Running the DTC

The following are conditions that must be present in order for the radio to enable the diagnostics.


The radio is in ACCESSORY or RUN power mode.

The system voltage is between 9-16 V.


Conditions for Setting the DTC

The radio detects a fault on the Amplifier Control circuit 0.4 s after radio activates the Remote Enable circuit.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

Radio sets the DTC and continues to output correct state.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC


The condition must be corrected.

A history DTC will clear once 100 malfunction-free ignition cycles have occurred.

The radio receives the clear code command from the scan tool.

Circuit/System Verification

Verify the audio system performance by adjusting the fade and balance of the speaker outputs.

Circuit/System Testing


RPO Code UQA

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the A11 Radio.

2. Ignition ON, test for less than 1 V between the radio audio mute signal terminal 37 and ground.

3. If greater than the specified value, test the circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the T3 Audio Amplifier.

4. Ignition OFF, test for greater than 20 Ω between the radio audio mute signal terminal 37 and ground.

5. If less than the specified value, test the circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the T3 Audio Amplifier.

6. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X3 harness connector at the T3 Audio Amplifier.

7. Test for less than 5 Ω between the signal circuit terminal 37 X1 at the A11 Radio harness connector and terminal 6 X3 at the T3 Audio Amplifier harness connector.

8. If greater than specified range, test the circuit for an open circuit/high resistance.

9. If all circuits test normal, replace the A11 Radio.
