2014 ACCESSORIES AND EQUIPMENT Audio/Video - Non-DTC Based Diagnostics - Ram Pickup
Any diagnosis of the Audio system should begin with the use of a scan tool. Check for any Diagnostic
Trouble Codes (DTCs) in the AUDIO (RADIO) - ELECTRICAL DIAGNOSTICS - 2500 HD & 3500 HD
article. If there are any DTCs, perform the appropriate diagnostic procedure before proceeding.
WARNING: Disable the airbag system before attempting any steering wheel, steering
column, seat belt tensioner, side airbag or instrument panel component
diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate the negative battery (ground)
cable. Wait two minutes for the airbag system capacitor to discharge
before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way
to disable the airbag system. Failure to follow these instructions may
result in accidental airbag deployment and possible serious or fatal
injury.

View Mirror. The most reliable, efficient and accurate means to diagnose the electronic controls and
communication related to Rear View Mirror operation, as well as the retrieval or erasure of a DTC requires the
use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable
the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) before attempting any steering
wheel, steering column, airbag, seat belt tensioner, impact sensor, or
instrument panel component diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate
the battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the system
capacitor to discharge before performing further diagnosis or service.
This is the only sure way to disable the SRS. Failure to take the proper
precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment.
NOTE: Be certain to confirm both of the following prior to attempting any further
diagnosis or testing of the RVC. Use a diagnostic scan tool to confirm the rear
view camera is setup in the vehicle configuration.

also determine if the USB port can provide power to a connected device.
Yes
Audio playback confirms that the USB Input is working correctly, no system repairs
are needed at this time.
Check the condition of the customer`s cords and device being used.
Check to make sure the customer`s device and cables are compatible with the vehicle system.

Check wiring circuits and connections to the USB port for concerns.
Check for vehicle related system updates, Star online cases and TSBs related to the
customers concern.
If no updates are available for the concern, replace the Radio or Hands Free Module in
accordance with the Service Information.
NOTE: The radio and external USB ports can only supply 5 volts at 500 mAs.
Check to see what the customer's device requires for operation or
charging. Some vehicles are equipped with a standalone USB
charging port that can supply 5 volts at 1.5 amps. For more

4. BLUETOOTH PAIRING
NOTE: This test is designed to validate the pairing ability of the vehicles
Audio/Media system. Pairing the MIT019 to the vehicle system will
simulate the use of a known good compatible phone to test the system
operation.
NOTE: Before testing it is important to check the total number of devices paired
to the vehicles system. Each system has a limit to the number of items
that can be paired to the system. For more information on system
operation and supported features see the vehicle supporting website "For
Owners Page" or the Driveuconnect website at
http://www.driveuconnect.com.
NOTE: If the customer`s concern is the vehicle system was working with their
device but then stopped working correctly, verify and perform the
following:
NOTE: During this test, use the power outlet adaptor supplied with the MIT019
Multi-Media Test kit to supply the power and ground to the tester. This will
confirm and demonstrate the Bluetooth connection without anything
connected to the Audio/Media system ports.
NOTE: In order for the tool to function correctly, first plug the MIT019 power
supply adapter into the 12 volt power outlet receptacle and confirm
adapter power LED illuminates. Then connect the MIT019 to the power
supply adapter.
1. Connect the power outlet power adapter into the 12 volt receptacle.
2. Connect the USB Cable into the Power Outlet Power Adapter. (This assists in showing the
customer that the tool is utilizing a Bluetooth connection.)
