PINPOINT TEST L : The Audio DSP Module Does Not Respond To The Scan Tool

NOTE: Failure to disconnect the battery when instructed will result in false resistance readings. REFER to Battery, Mounting and Cables

  1. L1 CHECK THE AUDIO DSP MODULE VOLTAGE SUPPLY CIRCUITS FOR AN OPEN

    • Ignition OFF.
    • Disconnect: Audio DSP Module C3154C.
    • Ignition ON.
    • Measure:
      Positive Lead Measurement / Action Negative Lead

      Ground

    Are the voltages greater than 11 volts? 

    Yes  GO to  L2.
    No  VERIFY the BCM fuse 5 (20A) is OK. If OK, REPAIR the circuit in question. If not OK, REFER to the OEM ELECTRICAL WIRING DIAGRAM INTRODUCTION to identify the possible causes of the circuit short.
  2. L2 CHECK THE AUDIO DSP MODULE GROUND CIRCUITS FOR AN OPEN

    • Ignition OFF.
    • Disconnect: Negative Battery Cable.
    • Measure:
      Positive Lead Measurement / Action Negative Lead
      C3154C-13
      GFD33596Courtesy of FORD MOTOR COMPANY
      Ground
      C3154C-14

      Ground

    Are the resistances less than 3 ohms? 

    Yes  GO to  L3.
    No  REPAIR the circuit in question.
  3. L3 CHECK THE I-CAN CIRCUITS BETWEEN THE AUDIO DSP MODULE AND THE IPC FOR AN OPEN

    • Disconnect: Audio DSP Module C3154A.
    • Disconnect: IPC.
    • Measure:
      Positive Lead Measurement / Action Negative Lead
      C3154A-1
      GFD33596Courtesy of FORD MOTOR COMPANY
      C220-25
      C3154A-11
      GFD33596Courtesy of FORD MOTOR COMPANY
      C220-26

    Are the resistances less than 3 ohms? 

    Yes  CONNECT the negative battery cable. GO to  L4.
    No  REPAIR the circuit in question.
  4. L4 CHECK FOR CORRECT AUDIO DSP MODULE OPERATION

    • Ignition OFF.
    • Disconnect and inspect the audio DSP module connectors and related in-line connectors.
    • Repair:
      • corrosion (replace connector or terminals - clean module pins)
      • damaged or bent pins - replace terminals/pins
      • pushed-out pins - replace pins as necessary
    • Reconnect the audio DSP module connectors and related in-line connectors. Make sure they seat and latch correctly.
    • Operate the system and verify the concern is still present.

    Is the concern still present? 

    Yes  CHECK OASIS for any applicable TSBs. If a TSB exists for this concern, discontinue this test and follow TSB instructions. If no TSBs address this concern, INSTALL a new audio DSP module. REFER to Information and Entertainment Systems Sony Sound .
    No  The system is operating correctly at this time. Concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector.
