Circuit/System Testing
IMPORTANT:
It is recommended that Component Testing is performed before Circuit Testing when diagnosing steering wheel controls.
CAUTION:
Refer to SIR Caution
.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the left and right steering wheel control switches.
- Ignition ON, Radio ON, test for 8.5-10.5 volts between the supply voltage circuit and ground at the right switch harness connector.
- If less than 8.5 volts test the supply voltage circuit for a short to ground or an open/ high resistance. If circuit test normal, replace the radio.
- If greater than 10.5 volts, test the supply voltage circuit for short to voltage. If circuit test normal, replace the radio.
- Test for 8.5-10.5 volts between the supply voltage circuit and toggle to the signal circuit at the left and right switch harness connectors.
- If less than 8.5 volts test the signal circuit for an open/ high resistance. If circuit test is normal, replace the radio.
- If greater than 10.5 volts, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit test is normal, replace the radio.
- Ignition OFF, reconnect the right switch.
- Ignition ON, Radio ON, test for 8.5-10.5 volts between the supply voltage circuit and signal circuit at the left switch harness connector.
- If less than 8.5 volts test the voltage supply circuit to the left switch for a short to ground or an open/ high resistance. If circuit test normal, refer to component testing.
- If greater than 10.5 volts, repair the voltage supply circuit for a short to B+.
- Test for 1-4 volts when pressing the right switch between the signal circuit and ground at the left switch harness connector.
- If less than 1-volt, test the signal circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit test is normal, refer to component testing.
- If circuits test normal, refer to component testing.
