Mute Signal Circuit between Stereo Component Amplifier and Telematics Transceiver
The DCM (telematics transceiver) sends a mute signal to the stereo component amplifier assembly.
The stereo component amplifier assembly controls the volume according to the mute signal from the DCM (telematics transceiver).
WIRING DIAGRAM
PROCEDURE
INSPECT DCM (TELEMATICS TRANSCEIVER)
(a) Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below. Standard Voltage:
|
![]() |
| OK | ![]() | PROCEED TO NEXT SUSPECTED AREA SHOWN IN PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE |
|
CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (STEREO COMPONENT AMPLIFIER ASSEMBLY - DCM (TELEMATICS TRANSCEIVER))
(a) Disconnect the N11 stereo component amplifier assembly connector.
(b) Disconnect the F39 DCM (telematics transceiver) connector.
(c) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance:
Tester Connection | Condition | Specified Condition |
|---|---|---|
N11-24 (TMUT) - F39-17 (MUTE) |
Always |
Below 1 Ω |
N11-24 (TMUT) - Body ground |
Always |
10 kΩ or higher |
| NG | ![]() | REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR |
