Input Test
- With the subwoofer/amplifier 8P connector connected, make the input tests at the connector according to the table. Terminal Test 4 Measure the voltage to ground with all conditions: There should be less than 0.2 V. 5 Measure the voltage to ground with all conditions: There should be battery voltage. 6 Measure the voltage to ground with audio system power switch ON: There should be battery voltage.
- If the input test proves OK and the subwoofer has no sound, replace the faulty subwoofer/amplifier unit.
Scheme 196
- Remove the right rear side trim panel (see «TRIM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION - REAR SIDE AREA»(/acura/mdx/ii-2010-2013/remont/exteriorinterior-trim/#interior-trim__trim-removalinstallation-rear-side-area) ).
- Disconnect the 8P connector (A), then remove the bolts (B), nuts (C) and pull out the subwoofer (B).
- Measure the resistance between the terminals No. 2 and No. 7 and terminals No. 3 and No. 8. There should be about 2 ohms.
- If the resistance is not as specified, replace the subwoofer.
Scheme 197
- Remove the glove box (see «GLOVE BOX REMOVAL/INSTALLATION»(/acura/mdx/ii-2010-2013/remont/gauges-instrument-panels/#dashboard__glove-box-removalinstallation) ).
- Disconnect the connectors (A).
- Loosen the bolts (B), then pull out the stereo amplifier (C).
- Install the stereo amplifier in the reverse order of removal.
