RECEIVER-SATELLITE

DESCRIPTION

The satellite receiver module is located above the
headliner near the rear liftgate opening. It is mounted
to the roof panel with three mounting fasteners.

OPERATION

The satellite receiver module receives signals from the roof mounted antenna and processes this information before
it is sent to the radio. The module operates on both battery feed circuits and CAN bus messages. It will operate with
the ignition key in the run or accessory position only.

REMOVAL

WARNING: To avoid personal injury or death, on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the supplemental
restraint system before attempting any steering wheel, steering column, airbag, occupant classification sys-
tem, seat belt tensioner, impact sensor, or instrument panel component diagnosis or service. Disconnect
and isolate the battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the system capacitor to discharge
before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the supplemental
restraint system. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment.

inch)) are also located on the top portion of the instrument panel. The midlevel speaker system includes an ampli-
fier. The total available power of the premium speaker system is 288 watts.

PREMIUM

The premium speaker system features nine speakers in nine locations. One 16.5 centimeter (6.5 inch) diameter
speaker is located in each front door. There is also one 16.5 centimeter (6.5 inch) diameter speaker located in each
rear door. A 1.9 centimeter tweeter is mounted high in each rear door trim panel. Two tweeters (8.9 centimeter (3.5
inch)) are also located on the top portion of the instrument panel. Included with the premium speaker package is a
subwoofer located in the left rear quarter panel. The premium speaker system also includes an amplifier. The total
available power of the premium speaker system is 384 watts.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING

SPEAKER

Any diagnosis of the Audio system should begin with the use of a scan tool and the appropriate Diagnostic
Service information.

Refer to the appropriate wiring information.

WARNING: DISABLE THE AIRBAG SYSTEM BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY STEERING WHEEL, STEERING
COLUMN, SEAT BELT TENSIONER, SIDE AIRBAG, OR INSTRUMENT PANEL COMPONENT DIAGNOSIS OR
SERVICE. DISCONNECT AND ISOLATE THE BATTERY NEGATIVE (GROUND) CABLE, THEN WAIT TWO MIN-
UTES FOR THE AIRBAG SYSTEM CAPACITOR TO DISCHARGE BEFORE PERFORMING FURTHER DIAGNO-
SIS OR SERVICE. THIS IS THE ONLY SURE WAY TO DISABLE THE AIRBAG SYSTEM. FAILURE TO TAKE
THE PROPER PRECAUTIONS COULD RESULT IN ACCIDENTAL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT AND POSSIBLE
PERSONAL INJURY.

CAUTION: The speaker output of the radio is a “floating ground” system. Do not allow any speaker lead to
short to ground, as damage to the radio may result.

1. If all speakers are inoperative, check the radio fuses in the junction block. If OK, go to Step 2. If not OK, repair

the shorted circuit or component as required and replace the faulty fuse.

2. Check the amplifier fuse (if equipped) in the junction block. If OK, go to Step 3. If not OK, repair the shorted

circuit or component as required and replace the faulty fuse.

3. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position. Turn the radio receiver ON. Adjust the balance and fader control

controls to check the performance of each individual speaker. Note the speaker locations that are not performing
correctly. Go to Step 4.

4. Turn the radio OFF. Turn the ignition OFF. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable. If vehicle is not

equipped with a amplifier, remove the radio receiver. If the vehicle is equipped with an amplifier, disconnect the
wire harness connectors. There are two connectors. The one on the body harness has body speakers only. The
other on the instrument panel harness has the instrument panel speakers, battery, ground, and CAN. Go to Step
5.

5. Check both the speaker feed (+) circuit and return (-) circuit cavities for the inoperative speaker at the wire har-

ness connector for continuity to ground. There should be no continuity. If OK, go to Step 6. If not OK, repair the
shorted speaker feed (+) and/or return (-) circuits(s) to the speaker as required.

6. Disconnect wire harness connector at the inoperative speaker. Check for continuity between the speaker feed (+)

circuit cavities of the radio receiver wire harness connector or if equipped, the amplifier wire harness connector
and the speaker wire harness connector. Repeat the check between the speaker return (-) circuit cavities of the
radio receiver wire harness connector and the speaker wire harness connector. In each case, there should be
continuity. If OK, replace the faulty speaker. If not OK, repair the open speaker feed (+) and/or return (-) cir-
cuits(s) as required.
