Dead battery causing stereo issues


Recommended Posts

Hello everybody, I'm new here. I have a 2010 edge limited. Recently a cold snap came threw(-61 wind chill) and took my old battery out. I replaced it but now I'm having stereo problems. It's all distorted and only coming out of the passenger front door. All buttons work, navigation ect. It happens with the regular stereo as well as Bluetooth from my phone. I've reset the settings for the radio but it didn't change a thing.  Does anybody have any advice? 

 

Thanks in advance. Anthony

Welcome to the Forum, Anthony_a2 !

 

Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) may be present that can guide corrective efforts.

 

Try performing the Audio Control Module (ACM) Self-Diagnostic procedure, also known as Bezel Diagnostics.

 

From the 2010 Edge Workshop Manual...

 

Audio Systems With Navigation

  1. Turn the ACM on.
  1. Operate the audio system in radio tuner (AM/FM) mode.
  1. Press and hold preset buttons 3 and 6 for 3 seconds until the speaker walk test begins.
    • The display indicates each speaker as it is tested.
  1. NOTE: If the speaker walk test is the only test required, this procedure can be stopped after this step, or by allowing the speaker walk test to complete on its own.

    Before the speaker walk test is complete, press the "End Test" selection.

  1. The following tests are available through the "BEZEL DIAGNOSTICS" menu:

    Display Selection Diagnostic Function Description
    On Demand Self Test The ACM carries out a self-test. At the end of the self-test, the display either indicates "Test Passed" or lists any DTCs present. Note that the self-test may not indicate all DTCs that are present. If DTCs are suspected, retrieve continuous and on-demand DTCs using the scan tool.
    View DTCs The ACM displays any DTCs that are present. If there is more than a full screen of DTCs present, to scroll through the DTCs, press the down arrow on the display. If no DTCs are present, the display reads NO DTCS. Press the "Clear DTCs" selection to clear any DTCs present.
    Configuration Status The display shows the ACM configuration. A "0" indicates the item is configured off, while a "1" indicates the item is configured on. If the ACM appears to be misconfigured, refer to Section  418-01.
    System Info The ACM displays system information for various components of the audio system. The following items are most important for servicing the audio system:
    • Nav Radio Part Number — provides the ACM part number
    • ESN1 — provides the satellite radio Electronic Serial Number (ESN)
    GPS Info The current Global Positioning System (GPS) satellite information is shown, along with the current vehicle position. Pressing the "SV Status" selection provides additional information, if present.
    Speaker Walk Test The ACM carries out the speaker walk test.
    DVD Mechanism Test The ACM tests the internal CD/DVD drive mechanism.
    Display Test This test provides for testing of the touchscreen colors and the touchscreen sectors. Pressing any of the colors on the display causes the whole display to change to that color; pressing the display again returns to the Display Test menu. Pressing the "Touchscreen Activation Test" selection enters the touchscreen sector test. Press any area of the screen to test the touchscreen sector; press the "X" at the RH lower corner of the display to return to the Display Test menu.
    Hardkey Test This test provides for testing of the ACM buttons (not the touchscreen). When each button is pressed, the screen displays the button that is active. This test can also be used to isolate a stuck button.
    Radio Signal Strength The ACM displays the AM/FM antenna signal strength. To run this test, the audio system should be in AM radio tuner mode before entering the ACM self-diagnostic mode.
    HDD Test The ACM tests its internal hard drive.
    Sensor I/O Status The ACM displays inputs it is receiving from external sources. These inputs include:
    • Ignition — indicates ON (ignition in ACC or RUN) or OFF
    • Brake — indicates ON (brake applied) or OFF (brake not applied)
    • Illumination — indicates ON or OFF
    • ReverseGear — indicates ON (vehicle in reverse) or OFF (vehicle not in reverse)
    Microphone Test The ACM tests the microphone by supplying a test tone and monitoring the input from the microphone. As this vehicle is not equipped with a microphone, this test does not provide any diagnostic assistance.
    SDARS Signal Strength The ACM displays the satellite radio antenna signal strength.
  1. To exit the self-diagnostic mode, press the "Exit Diagnostics" selection from the "BEZEL DIAGNOSTICS" menu.

 

Please report back on the outcome, and then we'll determine if additional diagnostic procedures are necessary.

 

Good luck!
