Radio wont power up
Description
• Customer may state the radio wont power up
• Please print the check list below and attach to warranty claim.
Radio wont power up checklist
• The radio power supply is different between a truck with a remote sleeper control and without remote sleeper control
◦ Without Sleeper Control routes power from fuse F4‐F directly to the radio. For a simplified schematic Click Here
◦ With Sleeper Control routes power from fuse F4‐F to the sleeper control. The sleeper then relays power through the sleeper
control to the radio. For a simplified schematic Click Here
◦ For Connector Composites 1300 and 1301 Click Here
• In the event the radio is replaced, the radio will be called back for review, it is required to submit checklist with warranty claim,
and radios which are found to be operating will be charged back to the dealer.

• In the event the radio is replaced, the radio will be called back for review, it is required to submit checklist with warranty claim,
and radios which are found to be operating will be charged back to the dealer.
Additional Information:
Note: the 355 series radios did not have capability to stream music from a device where the new DEA5xx series models do have this
capability. If the vehicle has a 355 series radio and the complaint is they can't stream music, this is normal operation. Popular Supported
Phone models include but are not limited to:

Bluetooth Radio Microphone
On units equipped with a Bluetooth® stereo, there are some basic operational checks that can be made when there is a complaint with
the system operation.
The Bluetooth® audio comes out of the Front Left speaker.
Follow these steps to make sure the radio is setup correctly.
•
•
•
•

Determine how many channels the vehicle has.
Our vehicles stereos will have a 2 channel system, a 4 channel system, or a 4 channel premium that has 6, 8 or 10 speakers.
You only need to know if its 2 channel or 4 channel, based on the number of speakers are in the vehicle.
Once you determine if it’s a 2 channel or 4 channel vehicle you have to make sure the radio is set to the appropriate mode (2
channel or 4 channel).
1. Press "Title/Menu" button for 2 seconds (until you hear a beep) to enter "main menu"
2. Press "UP" until you get to "Speakers", then press "OK"
3. Press up to select "2CH" or "4CH" to correspond to the number of speakers in the vehicle.
4. Press "ESC" a few times to exit out of the "main menu"
• Now you want to verify the speaker location.
1. Press the Volume knob in for 2 seconds to bring up the audio menu
2. Turn the Volume knob (left or right) until you see "FADE" (note if you have it on 2 channel mode then there will not be a fade
option, if so skip to step 4).
3. Press the Volume knob to select "FADE" then turn the knob to the left until the Fade is only on the front speakers, then press
"OK"
4. Turn the Volume knob until you see "Balance" and press the knob to select it.
5. Turn the Volume knob left until the Balance is only on the left speaker.

• You have now isolated the left front speaker. If you hear audio then the radio is installed correctly, if not then there is a wiring issue.
If you determine there is a wiring issue, verify all wiring is properly connected and has continuity from the radio to the speaker or
microphone.

The Bluetooth® Mic must be installed with the arrow on the Mic facing toward the front of the vehicle or the performance will be
drastically impacted. See Figure 1.

Bluetooth Call Volume
The user may complain that during a phone call on the 500 series radios, such as a DEA505, the radio volume may decrease significantly.
An issue with the radio software for Dynamic Distortion Limiting logic was corrected. The radio software can be updated with new
software via the USB port and a flash drive using the instructions below.
You will need to use an empty USB Stick (Flash drive) ‐ FAT32 or exFAT recommended

Radio Reception (Including SAT)
Customer may have one of the following concerns:
1. Cant identify XM radio ID#
◦ To identify XM ID perform the procedure below:
◦ Select XM as source, then tune to channel 0 , "RADIO ID" label alternates with the SXM radio eight‐digit code.
◦ NOTE: Some customers have had trouble activating the radio. This has been found to be due to misinterpretation of the radio
ID. It's easy to mistake a "Q" for a "0"
◦ Example: 9904248G should be 99Q4348G
2. Poor AM/FM reception
◦ Resolution:
◦ If poor radio reception is experienced, the mounting location needs to be spot‐faced from the inside of the cab.
◦ Remove the Nut and Star washer
◦ Use a die grinder and remove the paint (spot face) around the antenna base. You do not need to remove the antenna.
◦ Apply dielectric grease to the spot faced area.
◦ Re‐install the star washer and nut.
Figure 3 below shows location near the passengers kick panel under the IP. Builds after mid‐December have the area spot‐faced.

Sleeper Radio Displays no Link
• Applies To: LoneStar, ProStar, PayStar, 9400, 9900
Description
• Complaint that the Sleeper Radio Control (08RJG) Displays "No Link"
• No radio control from sleeper
Service Procedure
1. Verify sleeper radio control is powering up.
◦ If not, troubleshoot power circuits to the unit
◦ If power and grounds are good and unit will not power up you may need to replace sleeper radio control.
◦ Fused Accessory power is supplied to the sleeper radio terminal 2. Then terminal 6 supplies power to the radio in the dash.
2. Verify radio is powering up and can be controlled by the knobs and switches on the front of the radio. If not, troubleshoot power to
radio or replace radio if necessary.
3. Verify radio cab be controlled by switches in steering wheel. If not, troubleshoot steering wheel switch inputs to radio.
4. Try to force sleeper radio control to "sync" with radio.
◦ Turn key to off position.
◦ With radio on, pull fuse F2‐E, Radio, for a few seconds, then reinstall the fuse.
◦ With radio off, disconnect sleeper radio control , leave loose for a couple seconds, reconnect and turn on radio with sleeper
radio control .
◦ This should force the sleeper radio control to sync with the radio. If not, check integrity of data link.
5. Check the integrity of the data link circuits between the radio and the sleeper radio control . (Refer to circuit Diagram)
◦ This data link is similar to the other J1939 data links on the vehicle.

◦ With no power applied, there should be 60 Ohms of resistance between the circuits. If this is not correct, there may be an open
circuit or missing terminating resistor. The terminating resistor for the remote is in a jumper harness between the sleeper radio
control and the truck harness. (See picture below)
◦ With power, there should by approximately 2.5 Vdc on each data link circuit.
—Note: The voltages should not match
◦ If problems persist or reoccur, it may be necessary to relocate the terminating resistors so that one is as close to the radio as
possible and the other is a close to the remote control as possible.
6. If all else fails it may be necessary to replace the remote or the radio.

Citizens Band (CB) Radio Antenna Application/Performance
The quality and range of CB transmission is largely dependent on the "impedance match" of the antenna, cables, and connections to the
CB radio. The antennas used by International are designed and matched to be used with specific truck models and should not be used in a
particular installation simply because it fits the mounting hole or has the right mast color for the particular truck in question. Use only the
correct antenna by part number for the current production vehicles listed below.

Radio Displays Amp Fault
Customer may state the radio display says "AMP Fault". If the concern is verified, check with the customer to see if any aftermarket
equipment has been installed recently. Check the ground for the amp located in the sleeper. The ground stud is located on the driver side
near the sleeper fuse box.
The radio will display this fault if the amp sense circuit is grounded. Check the circuit for a short to ground(Figure 1). As a last resort, the
amp itself might be faulty.

Radio Steering wheel controls diagnostics
Triage
Customer may state the steering wheel controls, specifically volume up or down, for the radio may be inoperative or work intermittently.
The radio steering wheel controls are voltage sensitive and any voltage drop between the input to the radio and the input to the radio
steering wheel controls may cause the controls not to work. It is important to note from the customer when the concern is experienced.
Diagnostic Procedures
Please follow the attached procedure to check voltages to pinpoint the problem. Most of the time, the radio is not the issue, rather there
is a wiring problem causing a voltage drop between the 2 inputs to the radio
