Task 42 —
CODEC 2 Circuitry
If the CCTM checks indicate a fault in the CODEC 2 circuitry or with the 
digital signals to and from the circuitry, rectify the fault as follows:
1. Most of the CODEC 2 circuitry is situated under the 
CDC TOP can. 
If not already done, remove the 
CDC TOP can.
2. Check the following digital signals at IC205 (see Figure 9.15):
■ pin 10 : DIG CDC2 LRCK
■ pin 12 : DIG CDC2 SCLK
■ pin 8 : CDC2 DIG SDTO
■ pin 9 : DIG CDC2 SDTI
These signals to and from the digital board should all be active:
3. If the digital signals are correct, the CODEC 2 circuitry is suspect; 
go to Step 6. If they are not, go to Step 4.
4. If any or all digital signals are missing, check the connections between 
IC205 and the digital board (see Figure 9.15).
5. If there are faults such as open circuits in the connections, repair the 
circuitry and repeat Task 40
.
If the connections are not faulty, then the digital board is faulty. 
Replace the main-board assembly and go to “Final Tasks” on 
page 147.
6. The CODEC 2 circuitry comprises IC205 and associated 
components under the 
CDC TOP can (see Figure 9.15) as well as R246 
under the 
CDC BOT can (see Figure 7.3 on page 158). Locate the 
fault.
7. Repair the circuitry. Note that, if the circuitry is functioning properly, 
probing the 
TP501 test point (see Figure 9.16) during power-up 
will show a five-step staircase signal followed by a random nine-step 
staircase signal — this is the expected power-up auto-calibration 
sequence.
8. Confirm the removal of the fault, and go to Step 9. If the repair 
failed, replace the main-board assembly and go to “Final Tasks” on 
page 147.
9. Replace all cans.
10. Repeat Task 40
 to confirm the removal of the fault. If the repair 
failed, replace the main-board assembly and go to “Final Tasks” on 
page 147.
