RIGHT INSTRUMENT PANEL (I/P) SPEAKER
AMPLIFIER

1. CHECK FOR AN INTERMITTENT CONDITION

1.	Turn the ignition on.

2.	Using the scan tool, record and erase the Amplifier DTCs.

3.	Cycle the ignition switch from on to off, wait five seconds and then back to on.

4.	Turn the Radio on and set the volume to 20.

5.	Adjust the speakers to the front and center.

6.	Using the scan tool, read the active Amplifier DTCs.

Does the scan tool display active: B1466-CHANNEL 2 AUDIO SPEAKER OUTPUT CIRCUIT LOW?

Yes

Test complete, 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.
Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 28 - DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Totally Integrated Power (TIPM) - Standard Procedure).

2. RIGHT INSTRUMENT PANEL (I/P) SPEAKER

1.	Using the scan tool, erase the DTCs.

2.	Turn the ignition off.

3.	Disconnect the Right Instrument Panel Speaker harness connector.

4.	Turn the ignition on

5.	Turn the radio on and set the volume to 25.

6.	Using the scan tool, read the active Amplifier DTCs.

Does the scan tool display active: B1466-CHANNEL 2 AUDIO SPEAKER OUTPUT CIRCUIT LOW?

Yes

3. CHECK THE (X208) RIGHT FRONT I/P SPEAKER (+) CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND

1.	Turn the ignition off.

2.	Disconnect the Amplifier C1 harness connector.

3.	Measure the resistance between ground and the (X208) Right I/P Speaker (+) circuit.

Is the resistance below 10K Ohms?

Yes

Repair the (X208) Right I/P Speaker (+) circuit for a short to ground.
Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 28 - DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Totally Integrated Power (TIPM) - Standard Procedure).

4. CHECK THE (X298) RIGHT I/P SPEAKER (-) CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND

1.	Measure the resistance between ground and the (X298) Right I/P Speaker (-) circuit.

Is the resistance below 10K Ohms?

Yes

Repair the (X298) Right I/P Speaker (-) for a short to ground.
Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 28 - DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Totally Integrated Power (TIPM) - Standard Procedure).

Replace the Amplifier in accordance with the Service Information.
