2010 Cadillac Truck Escalade/ESV RWD V8-6.2L Page 362
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
No sound is present from one or more of the speakers.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
Set by Radio
The fault condition becomes history if not present for 0.25 seconds.
Set by Bose Amplifier
The fault condition becomes history after the vehicle ignition has been OFF for several hours and then the ignition turns ON.
Diagnostic Aids
Speakers located in the front A-pillar are connected to the same channel as the speaker in the door. A DTC will only set after the amplifier only on
up-level radios.

Circuit/System Verification
Radio ON, adjust the fade and balance controls on the radio to test all four channels individually. Each of the four channels should produce clear
and even sound.
Circuit/System Testing
Important: This DTC can be set by either the radio or the amplifier. If the DTC was set by the radio, diagnose the appropriate audio
output circuits to the speakers or the low level inputs to the amplifier (if equipped). If the DTC was set by the amplifier, diagnose audio
output signals to the speakers from the amplifier. If equipped with rear seat audio (RSA) (U42), the RSA must be turned off to perform
proper speaker testing.
Without Amplifier
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate speaker.
2. Radio ON, test for 5.0-7.5 volts between the signal circuit terminal A and ground.
瀚慖f greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the radio.
瀚慖f 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.
3. Test for 5.0-7.5 volts between the signal circuit terminal B and ground.
瀚慖f greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the radio.
瀚慖f 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.
4. If all circuits test normal, replace the speaker.
