Component Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Chevrolet Malibu Classic. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
IMPORTANT:
The cruise control ON/OFF switch must be ON in order to properly measure the resistance of the ON, SET -, and the RES + switches.
Steering Wheel Controls - Left
- Ignition OFF, remove the inflatable restraint steering wheel module. Refer to Inflatable Restraint Steering Wheel Module Replacement (Non-SS) or Inflatable Restraint Steering Wheel Module Replacement (SS) .
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the steering wheel controls - left.
- Measure the resistance between terminals 4 and 5 (4 and 6 for the Cancel Switch) at the cruise control switch side of the connector. Individually activate and hold each cruise control function switch and compare the resistance reading to the values for the ON/OFF, SET -, the RES +, and the Cancel switches.
- If any of the resistance measurements for the OFF, ON, - SET, + RES, and Cancel switches are not within the listed resistance values, replace the steering wheel controls - left switch assembly.
| Function Switch | Minimum Resistance Value | Maximum Resistance Value |
|---|---|---|
| OFF | O.L. | O.L. |
| ON | 8.1k Ω | 8.4k Ω |
| SET - | 1.2k Ω | 1.4k Ω |
| RES + | 2.8k Ω | 3.0k Ω |
| Cancel | 0.0k Ω | 0.1k Ω |
