1. Steering Wheel Controls Inoperative.
|
|
Circuit/System Description
|
The body control module (BCM) supplies voltage to the audio steering wheel control switches and monitors the return signal. Each switch state is associated to a set resistance value and when pressed a specific voltage drop occurs across the resistor unique to the switch. The BCM identifies the switch selection and activates the feature.
|
•
|
This diagnostic is for the audio steering wheel controls.
|
|
•
|
Before diagnosis of the steering wheel controls, ensure the primary controls of the associated component are functioning properly.
|
|
•
|
If a single switch function is inoperative, test the suspect switch. Refer to component testing.

1.
|
Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the X85 Steering Wheel Air Bag Coil.
|
|
2.
|
Ignition ON, test for greater than 11 V between the voltage reference circuit terminal 5 X1 male side and ground.
|
|
3.
|
If less than the specified value, test the voltage reference circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K9 Body Control Module.
|
|
4.
|
Test for greater than 11 V between the voltage reference circuit terminal 5 X1 male side and the signal circuit terminal 4 X1 male side.
|
|
5.
|
If less than the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K9 Body Control Module.
|
|
6.
|
Ignition OFF, disconnect the X3 harness connector at the K9 Body Control Module.
|
|
7.
|
Test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit terminal 52 X3 male side at the X85 Steering Wheel Air Bag Coil and ground.
|
|
8.
|
If less than the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to ground.
|
|
9.
|
If all circuits test normal, test or replace the S70R Steering Wheel Controls Switch - Right.
|
Warning
|
|
After disconnecting, disassembling or replacing this Flex-Door relevant component, the following system safety check must be carried out:
|
|
Start a system check by accelerating to 4 km/h or more. Neither the Flex-Door fault indicator lamp on the instrument cluster shall illuminate nor the Flex-Door fault audio warning signal sound.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Static Test
|
1.
|
Disconnect the harness connector at the X85 Steering Wheel Air Bag Coil.
|
|
2.
|
Test the resistance between the terminals 5 X1 female side and 4 X1 female side of the X85 Steering Wheel Air Bag Coil.
|
|
3.
|
If any of the resistance measurements for the individual switches are not within the specified resistance values, replace the S70R Steering Wheel Controls Switch - Right.
