TROUBLESHOOTING
SYMPTOM | LIKELY CAUSE | SOLUTION |
No audio | No voltage at power | Check BATT+, REMOTE and |
(Power LED is off) | or remote terminal | GND – terminals with VOM for |
|
| blown fuse or poor connection |
| Internal fuse blown | Replace internal fuse |
| (incorrect power | (see Replacing the Fuse |
| connections) | or Neon Tubes section) |
No audio | Low or high voltage | Check BATT+ terminal with |
(Power LED | at power terminal | VOM for voltage between |
is flashing) |
| 10 and 16 Vdc; if not within |
|
| limits, check vehicle’s |
|
| electrical system |
No audio | Direct current on | Disconnect cable from |
(Power and | speaker output(s) | REMOTE terminal; if Fault LED |
Fault LEDs |
| is still on, contact local JBL |
are on) |
| service center |
No audio | Internal amplifier | Check for blocked vents |
(Power and | temperature is over | or whether the ambient |
Thermal LEDs | 85° C | temperature is above 85° C |
are on) |
|
|
Distorted audio | Amplifier’s gain is | Properly adjust the |
(I OPT and/or | set to High | LEVEL control (see |
E OPT LED[s] |
| Setting Input |
are on more |
| Sensitivity section) |
than off) |
|
|
Distorted audio | Defective source unit | Try new source unit |
(I OPT and/or |
|
|
E OPT LED[s] | Shorted speaker | Disconnect wires from |
work correctly) | wires | SPEAKER OUTPUTS and |
|
| check for shorts between |
|
| wires, or between a wire and |
|
| the vehicle’s chassis |
Music lacks | Speakers are out | Check speaker connections |
“punch” | of phase | (see sections on speaker |
|
| connections) |
| Wrong output mode | Verify output mode setting |
|
| (see Making the Connections |
|
| section) |
Neon tubes do | No voltage to neon tubes | Check LIGHTING |
not light | for +12 Vdc | terminal with VOM |
| Neon tubes are dead | Replace neon tubes |
|
| (see Replacing the Fuse |
|
| or Neon Tubes section) |
