Dash speaker problem

System is Bose. Initially I shorted one of the speaker wires which threw an amplifier code. I was able to erase those and the speakers worked.

Something didn't sound right however and I noticed the the driver side polarity was reversed, solving that mystery.

 

I fixed the polarity only this time I did not accidentally short anything and the amplifier still showed 2 codes. I cleared them, only now I still have no sound out of the corner dash speakers.

I also have these 2 codes I cannot clear.

Any ideas?

U0146 - Lost Communication with Serial Data Gateway Module

 

U0184 - Lost Communication with Radio

 

 

What aftermarket components have you installed to the truck seeing you are messing with speakers and what not?  If nothing aftermarket has been installed, your shorting pissed off either the radio or the amplifier and are no good anymore.

Just the speakers.

 

Amplifier shows no codes so I assume it must be the radio.

 

However, the dash speakers wire directly to the amplifier. There is nothing in between. I don't see how it could've jumped the amplifier (which is code-free) to the radio.

 

Must be something else.

Are there any other codes in any other modules?

Yeah there's U0447-00 something about video processing.

 

this one I can clear, but it always shows up again

Hmm.  U0447 - Invalid Data Received from Serial Data Gateway Module.  

 

Have you installed the factory speakers and still no sound?  Do you have sound out of the rears, doors and sub?

 

To me, I'm still thinking something during that short took something down.  B+ to the front speakers out of the amp, and perhaps that spiked back onto a data circuit to the radio.  Circuits 4758, 4757, 7215, 7214, 7211 and 7210 go to the amp, radio and gateway. 

 

In the end, sounds like you might need to put the stock speakers in and drop it at the dealer and see what they come up with.

Yeah I think I am taking it to dealer today.

Problem is, I can no longer connect the factory speakers. They only have that connector and no wire leads and I didn't leave enough wire left on them to splice them back into the circuit.

I'm just going to tell them the stereo didn't sound right so I changed the speakers. Radio must've just been bad the whole time.. I swear

Would a radio unit out of high country work? Found one online from a wreck.

It's the same 7spkr system and appears to have all of the same switches/equipment as my RST. Should be plug and play?

Why not just tell them the truth?

Might but will require programming.  Can't recall if you can flash a used radio on these new ones.  I think you can?

23RST, how did you clear the amplifier codes?  I run a Bank iDash and it did not find any codes, but it may also not access all parts of the vehicle I assume.

You need something that can access all vehicle modules.  Blue Driver or OBDLinkMX are two cheap options however these new trucks on GM Global B don't always let you get to everything, even with a SnapOn high end scan tool.  So might have to go to the dealer.

      AC diagnostic on a neo-classic Camaro

      By Atlas · Posted

      tldr; Shade tree mechanic stumped by variable displacement AC compressor.   Not Silverado related, but for my 2000 Camaro SS. I've never really used the AC since acquiring the car a good handful of years ago. I plan to take it on a trip this summer so I wanted to make sure the AC was in good shape. On an 73 degree day in the shop with the car idling I set the AC on "Max", temp set to cold, and fan on hi. The compressor turned on and air turned nice and cold.   I let it run for several minutes but noticed the compressor never cycled off. The engine was up to temperature enough that it began cycling the cooling fans on high. I had a set of manifold gauges hooked up and it was consistently at about 25 psi on the low side and between 200 and 225 psi (warm engine) on the high side. Per temperature charts, the low side is low (should be 30-35) and the high side is a little high (up to 170 per chart). I read the low pressure as potentially being under-charged underscored by a continually running compressor This was also underscored by temp readings of mid-20 degrees at the vents. Not just cold, freezing cold. Switching off the AC but leaving the HVAC fan on high produced a deluge of condensation underneath the vehicle. I was getting ice buildup on the evap core most likely.   The low reading (25psi) concerned me that the compressor wasn't switching off so I swapped out the pressure switch. No change in behavior, still ran constantly.   The AC clutch works fine as it engages/disengages with the HVAC switch on command. The compressor relay is good as I swapped it with two different known good relays just to be sure. Having eliminated that, and the pressure switch, I added refrigerant, thinking the constant run and low "low" pressure were signs of a slight undercharge. Makes sense, the car is 26 years old and it doesn't appear the AC system has ever been touched.   Adding some R134a didn't meaningfully change the low side pressure. And that's when a lightbulb flashed upstairs. While I consider the car "old", it's possibly "new" enough to have a variable displacement compressor. Did some reading and sure enough. Dangit. I don't work on these for this reason.   Adding refrigerant means the compressor will just compensate and won't really change pressures until it's severely overcharged or undercharged. But at least I wasn't getting ice/frost anymore, but instead high 30 degree temps out of the vents. That's more normal, but with variable displacement now I have no idea where my charge level is at. It's probably overcharged now. The high side even with the engine radiating serious heat was never really over about 225.   The static pressure at room temperature is dead on, before and after the charge. Both high/low equalize after some rest.   I'm thinking I'll need to take it to a shop. I want the proper charge level so I'm not working the compressor too hard. The only way to get an accurate charge is to evacuate and then re-charge with the exact amount specified for the system -- at least that's what I'm reading.   Anyone here with modern automotive AC knowledge?

      Mine is in the shop for the AC now. While it did get cold after a bit, it would take a while to even start to cool the air at all. Turns out the compressor was bad and cycling.

      I call B.S. when I first moved to Texas my first house would only cool to 80 with the Texas heat. The AC tech said it was normal at 100 degrees outside. I remodeled the house put in a new AC. I could hang meat. My cars may need recirculating to start. Once moving it switches to regular AC and I could hang meat. Living in Texas no one would put up with only 20 degrees difference.

      AC in home or auto only cool down 15-25 degrees from outside temp, but what will help is to put the ac in recirc mode this will recirc the Inside cabin air rather then trying to cool down the outside hot air, I always have mine in recirc mode.
