* Radio ON.

* Battery voltage must be between 9-16 volts.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The audio amplifier detects an over-heat condition greater than 95掳C (203掳F) of the internal amplifier circuitry.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The audio amplifier will shut down and all speakers will be inoperative.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

* The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists.

* A history DTC will clear once 100 consecutive malfunction-free ignition cycles have occurred.

Diagnostic Aids

Extended use or extremely high volume especially in warm weather conditions may cause this DTC to set. Under these conditions it may be normal

for this DTC to set to prevent permanent damage to the audio amplifier circuitry.
