Circuit/System Testing

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X5 in-line harness connector at the K32 Heated Steering Wheel Control Module.
  2. Test for less than 10 Ω between the ground circuit terminal 2 and ground.
    • If 10 Ω or greater 
    1. Ignition OFF.
    2. Test for less than 2 Ω in the ground circuit end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, repair the open/high resistance in the ground connection.
    • Go to next step: If less than 10 Ω 
  3. Ignition ON.
  4. Verify a test lamp illuminates between the ignition voltage circuit terminal 1 and ground.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate and the circuit fuse is good 
    1. Ignition OFF, remove the test lamp.
    2. Test for less than 2 Ω in the ignition circuit end to end.
      • If less than 2 Ω, verify the fuse is OK and there is voltage at the fuse. Refer to Power Mode Mismatch .
      • Go to next step: If 2 Ω or greater
    3. Verify the in-line fuse is OK and there is voltage at the fuse.
      • If the in-line fuse is blown, replace the K32 Steering Wheel Heating Control Module.
      • If the in-line fuse is OK, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate and the circuit fuse is open 
    1. Ignition OFF.
    2. Test for infinite resistance between the ignition voltage circuit and ground.
      • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • If infinite resistance, replace the K32 Steering Wheel Heating Control Module.
    • Go to next step: If the test lamp illuminates 
  5. Ignition OFF, connect the X5 in-line harness connector. Disconnect the harness connector at the S70L Steering Wheel Control Switch - Left. Ignition ON.
  6. Test for 10 - 13 V between the signal voltage circuit terminal 5 and ground.
    • If less than 10 V 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the S70R Steering Wheel Control Switch - Right.
    2. Test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit and ground.
      • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • Go to next step: If infinite resistance
    3. Test for less than 2 Ω in the signal circuit end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, replace the S70R Steering Wheel Control Switch - Right.
    • Go to next step: If within 10 - 13 V 
  7. Ignition ON.
  8. Test for less than 1 V between the control circuit terminal 12 and ground.
    • If greater than 1 V 
    1. Disconnect the K32 Steering Wheel Heating Control Module harness connector.
    2. Test for less than 1 V between the control circuit terminal 2 and ground.
      • If greater than 1 V, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
      • Go to next step: If less than 1 V
    3. Replace the K32 Steering Wheel Heating Control Module.
    • Go to next step: If less than 1 V 
  9. Ignition OFF.
  10. Test for infinite resistance between the control circuit terminal 12 and ground.
    • If less than infinite resistance 
    1. Disconnect the K32 Steering Wheel Heating Control Module harness connector.
    2. Test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit and ground.
      • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • Go to next step: If infinite resistance
    3. Replace the K32 Steering Wheel Heating Control Module.
    • Go to next step: If infinite resistance 
  11. Connect the S70L Steering Wheel Control Switch - Left.
  12. Install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the ground circuit terminal 2 and ground. Ignition ON.
  13. Verify the steering wheel heat indicator is illuminated.
    • If the steering wheel heat indicator does not illuminate 
    1. Disconnect the K32 Steering Wheel Heating Control Module harness connector.
    2. Test for less than 2 Ω in the signal circuit end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, replace the S70L Steering Wheel Control Switch - Left
    • Go to next step: If the steering wheel heat indicator illuminates 
  14. Replace the K32 Steering Wheel Heating Control Module.
