    • Speaker terminal A
    • Speaker terminal B
    • Tweeter terminal 1
    • Tweeter terminal 2
    • If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the radio.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the radio.
  3. If all circuits test normal, replace the speaker.
