Pinpoint Tests

Poor Reception Or Continuous Seek Or Scan - AM - FM


Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 130 for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions


REFER to: Information and Entertainment System - System Operation and Component Description (415-00A Information and Entertainment System - General Information - Vehicles With: AM/FM/CD, Description and Operation).
See AM / FM Radio and Antenna.

The RDS function allows the vehicle operator to choose which genre (category) of music to listen to. When the SCAN button is pressed, the ACM only stops at channels falling within the selected category. If no channel in the selected category is found, the ACM continues to scan without stopping. This can appear to be a reception issue, but it is actually due to the customer's setting.

Possible Sources


PINPOINT TEST A : POOR RECEPTION OR CONTINUOUS SEEK OR SCAN - AM (AMPLITUDE MODULATION) - FM (FREQUENCY MODULATION)
A1   CHECK THE AUDIO SYSTEM RECEPTION WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING
  • Operate the audio system in AM / FM mode.
  • Check the reception with the engine running, and with the engine off.

Is poor reception only present with the engine running?

Yes GO to A2

No Sound From All Speakers


Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 130 for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions


REFER to: Information and Entertainment System - System Operation and Component Description (415-00A Information and Entertainment System - General Information - Vehicles With: AM/FM/CD, Description and Operation).
See ACM .

A short to ground or short to voltage in the circuitry to one of the speakers may cause multiple speakers to lose sound due to the built-in overload protection feature of the ACM . In this case, a speaker fault DTC sets.

The PCM provides voltage to the ACM on the start signal circuit when the ignition is in the START position. When the voltage is received by the ACM , the audio signal output is muted to prevent voltage spikes from producing popping noises through the speakers. A short to voltage on this circuit causes the ACM output to be muted continuously.
