Content
Issue: A customer may report that the vehicle is difficult/ will not start.
Cause: Upon diagnosis the battery voltage is low and a quiescent battery drain is observed. The drain may be as a result of a capacitor fault within the Audio Amplifier Module on Trim level 2/ High Line/ Premium audio systems only. Low line audio systems that have an internal amplifier in the head unit are not affected.
Action: A quiescent drain can be attributed to one or more of any of the vehicle electrical/ electronic systems, however if the vehicle is within the VIN range below it is advisable before continuing with further diagnosis to remove the fuses for the appropriate model below and check to see if the quiescent drain is still present. If the quiescent drain is still present then continue with electrical diagnosis using Symptom Driven Diagnostics (SDD) and reference to TOPIx. If there is no quiescent drain after the fuses are removed, replace the Audio Amplifier Module, refit the fuses and check the vehicle.
