see 9511428 to the adapter. Steering wheel module (SWM) terminals #A1-#A10 correspond to terminals #1-#10 on the breakout box. The breakout box is designed to facilitate reading off the control module input and output signals when the steering wheel module (SWM) is connected, and the cable and component resistance when the control module is disconnected. The use of a breakout box reduces the risk of accidental short-circuited cables and damage to the connector pins.

Disconnect the breakout box in reverse order.
