An audio system speaker malfunction may have several possible causes. One way to test speaker function is by using the audio diagnostic tracks on the EL-50334-6 Audio System Diagnostic CD or J-39916-CD Diagnostic CD.
Improper speaker mounting or loose trim, for example, may cause an audible buzz or distortion. During diagnosis, inspect the speaker and the surrounding interior trim for proper and secure mounting. Using the audio tracks on the audio diagnostic CD can help duplicate conditions and isolate components that react differently to various tones.
The audio tracks provide test tones for:
- Bass/subwoofer test
- Mid-range speaker tests
- Door tweeter test
- All speaker test
- Speaker buzz and rattle test
- Noise diagnosis
用于车辆不再有CD player, the test tones on the CD can be copied to a USB drive or other device to use during testing. The test tones on the EL-50334-6 CD and J-39916-CD also can be downloaded from gmtoolsandequipment.com.
