Circuit/System Testing

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Chevrolet HHR. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X3 harness connector at the audio amplifier.
  2. Ignition ON, radio ON, test for 0.6-1.0 volt between the signal circuit terminal 16 and ground.
    • If greater than the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the radio.
    • If less than the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the radio.
  3. If all circuits test normal, replace the audio amplifier.
