Audio Unit Self-Diagnostic Mode
NOTE: To enter the speaker walk-around test or audio unit self-diagnostic mode, the audio unit must be turned on and in radio tuner mode (AM/FM).

1. To enter the following tests, depress the desired preset button while in the speaker walk-around test or while in the audio unit self-diagnostic mode.

1. To exit the audio unit self-diagnostic mode, turn the ignition switch or the audio unit off.

1. If the concern remains and the fault is not detected, proceed to the Symptom Chart to continue diagnostics.

1. The audio unit self-diagnostic mode has five tests available:
   • Preset button 1 = Audio internal/external SELF TEST. This test is an on-demand self-test. If SELF FAIL is displayed, press TUNE > to scroll view the DTCs stored. Refer to the audio unit Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Index. If the system is OK, SELF PASS will be displayed.
   • Preset button 2 = View/clear continuous DTCs. NO DTCS is displayed if no DTCs are retrieved. If DTCS FOUND is displayed, press TUNE > to view the DTCs retrieved. Refer to the audio unit Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Index. To clear all DTCs, press the EJECT button. DTCS CLEAR will be displayed.
   • Preset button 3 = SIGNAL TEST. This test measures the average strength at the current tuner setting.
   • NOTE: Always DOCUMENT, CLEAR and CARRY OUT the audio unit on-demand self-test again.
     Preset button 4 = Software configuration level. This test queries each audio unit system controller for its software configuration level. SOFT LEVELS will be displayed upon completion of the query. Press TUNE > to scroll view the software configuration version level.
   • Preset button 5 = DISPLAY TEST. This test will light all the audio unit display segments for five seconds. When the test is complete, DISPLAY TEST is displayed on the bezel.

Check fuses first. please rate as fixed if this solves you rissue. report back results.

Section 15-00: Audio Systems—Service 1999 Taurus, Sable Workshop Manual DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING Inspection and Verification NOTE: Many customers do not understand the limitations of FM reception. Refer the customer to the Owner Guide for information about the limitations of FM radio performance.

Internal diagnostic examination of the integrated control panel, rear chassis unit and audio compact disc player should be left to the authorized radio service center. However, the automotive technician should be able to analyze and isolate radio reception conditions to the proper area or component causing the condition. All radio conditions can be isolated to one of six general areas:

• antenna system
• integrated control unit
• radio speaker system
• radio noise suppression equipment
• rear chassis unit
• audio communications protocol network

Retrieving Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs)
Using Audio System On-Board Diagnostics
The audio system has on-board diagnostic capabilities and is equipped to check for every component available in the system even if this specific vehicle is not equipped with all components. A Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will be set for the missing components. These DTCs can be ignored if the vehicle is not equipped with these components. The battery must be fully charged for proper audio system operation. The ignition switch must be in the RUN or ACC position. Turn the system on, tune in a strong AM station and verify good reception. After an AM station is checked, tune in a strong FM station. The system is now ready to enter the diagnostic mode. Diagnostic Mode:
NOTE: Battery must be fully charged for proper audio system operation and self-test.

Enter Diagnostics mode by pressing SEEK DOWN button first and then pre-set button 3. Hold both buttons for five seconds. This will suspend all normal radio functions, retain the previously selected frequency and display DIAG.

1. NOTE: To perform diagnostics, press the appropriate buttons as instructed.
   
   SYSTEM CONFIGURATION SELF-TEST:
   Press pre-set button 1. This will check for connection of all possible devices and log the diagnostic trouble codes for any device that does not respond. The display will flash SELF while gathering the diagnostic trouble codes, then stop flashing when complete. To exit System Configuration Self-test, press pre-set button 1 again. To retrieve diagnostic trouble codes, press the TUNE UP button. This will display the diagnostic trouble codes if any exist. Continued pressing of the TUNE UP button will display the next diagnostic trouble code. Record codes and refer to the following table. To exit the Retrieval Mode, press pre-set button 1.
   
   
   CONFIGURATION SELF-TEST CODES Code Description 0 No diagnostic trouble codes logged 1 No response from rear chassis unit 2 No response from tape deck 3 No response from bezel microprocessor 4 No response from compact disc player 5 No response from steering wheel controls 6 No response from rear seat control 7 No response from remote climate control 8 No response from navigation module 9 Read Only Memory verification failed
   Remember, system configuration will test for all possible equipment connections. Inspect the vehicle to determine actual equipment installed.
   

1. Integrated control panel display test:
   To enter the integrated control panel display test, press pre-set button 5. This check will light all segments in the integrated control panel. The system will automatically exit this test after five seconds.
   

1. Integrated control panel and rear chassis unit identification:
   To enter this test, press pre-set button 3. This test identifies the software level of the integrated control panel and rear chassis unit. The integrated control panel is tested first, followed by the rear chassis unit. The completed test will exit automatically. For code identification, refer to the following table. The display will have two sequences of five codes each. The first sequence is for the integrated control panel, the second sequence is for the rear chassis unit.

It means your phone is activated somehow. Cellular Phone NOTE: The audio system does not operate when the portable cellular phone is in use because the audio-mute feature will mute the audio system when a call is placed or received. Portable Cellular Phone Features
The portable cellular phone system is available only with the P100i audio unit and has the following features:

• hands-free operation
• radio muting while phone is in use
• radio displays the phone number, signal strength, and call timer
• radio can be used to dial stored numbers and adjust hands-free operation volume

Entering ACM Self-Diagnostic Mode.

ACM (Audio Control Module) Self-Diagnostic Mode
NOTE: To enter the Speaker Walk-Around Test or ACM self-diagnostic mode, the ACM must be turned on and in radio tuner mode (AM/FM).
ACM self-diagnostic mode can only be entered while in the Speaker Walk-Around Test.

1. To enter the Speaker Walk-Around Test, press the ACM Preset Buttons 3 and 6 simultaneously.

1. The Speaker Walk-Around Test stops at each speaker and applies a different tone to each speaker for about 1-2 seconds. Each speaker is tested and displayed on the ACM in the following sequence: RF, LF, LR, RR, SUBWOOFER I, SUBWOOFER II.

1. The Speaker Walk-Around Test automatically continues and tests:

• the antenna and displays ANTENNA II, for five seconds.
• for a speaker short. If a short is present, SPKR SHORT will be displayed.
• for the CD/DJ. The ACM display will show NO DJ if not present. The Speaker Walk-Around Test will end and the ACM will return to its previous setting.

1. ACM self-diagnostic mode has five tests available:

• Preset button 1 = Audio internal/external SELF TEST. If SELF FAIL is displayed, press TUNE > to scroll view the DTCs stored. Refer to the ACM Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) Index. If the system is OK, SELF PASS is displayed.
• Preset button 2 = View/Clear continuous diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs). NO DTCS is displayed if no DTCs are retrieved. If DTCS FOUND is displayed, press TUNE > button to view the DTCs retrieved. Refer to the ACM DTC Index. To clear all DTCs, press the EJECT button. DTCS CLEAR will be displayed.
• Preset button 3 = SIGNAL TEST. This test measures the average strength at the current tuner setting.
• Preset button 4 = Software configuration level. This test queries each radio system controller for the software configuration level. SOFT LEVELS will be displayed upon completion of the query. Press TUNE > to scroll view the software configuration version level.
