Diagnostic Instructions
Circuit/System Description
The radio generates the audible warnings. The instrument cluster, the body control module (BCM), the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) or the object alarm module request audible warnings via Low Speed CAN-Bus signals.

Circuit/System Verification
Note: Before performing this diagnostics, make sure no indicators are illuminated after the instrument cluster performs a lamp test. If any indicators are illuminated after the bulb test, perform the indicator diagnostics before this diagnostics.
- Ignition ON, radio ON, adjust the radio balance and fade to each speaker.
- Ignition ON, buckle up driver seat belt, verify the scan tool Driver Seat Belt Status parameter is Buckled.
- Ignition ON, headlamp switch OFF, verify the scan tool Headlamp On Switch parameter is Inactive.
- Ignition ON, parking lamp switch OFF, verify the scan tool Parklamp Switch parameter is Inactive.
- Ignition ON, indicator switch OFF, verify the scan tool Left Indicator Switch parameter and the scan tool Right Indicator Switch parameter is Inactive.
- Ignition ON, doors closed, verify that all scan tool parameters listed below are Inactive.
• | Driver Door Ajar Switch |
• | Passenger Door Ajar Switch |
• | Left Rear Door Ajar Switch |
• | Right Rear Door Ajar Switch |
- Verify the scan tool Key in Ignition Status parameter is Inactive when the key is in the ignition and Active when the key is out of the ignition.
⇒ | If the scan tool parameter does not operate properly, refer to Circuit/System Testing. |
- Ignition ON, verify that the scan tool Park Assist Switch parameter is Active when the parking assist is active and Inactive when the parking assist is Inactive.
- If all tests operate properly, replace the A11 Radio.
Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition OFF, fully insert and remove the key in the ignition lock cylinder several times. Verify the scan tool Key In Cylinder Switch parameter changes from Active to Inactive.
⇒ | If the parameter is always Inactive, test the S39 ignition switch signal circuit terminal 2 and the B+ circuit terminal 2 for an open/high resistance or a short to ground. If all circuits test normal, replace the S39 Ignition Switch. |
⇒ | If the parameter is always Active, test the S39 ignition switch signal circuit terminal 2 for a short to voltage. If all circuits test normal, replace the S39 Ignition Switch. |
- If all circuits test normal, replace the K9 BCM.
Repair Instructions
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
