Circuit/System Testing

All Controls Malfunction

  1. Ignition OFF and all vehicle systems OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the S70R Steering Wheel Controls Switch - Right, ignition ON.
  2. Test for 2-10 V between the serial data circuit terminal 5 and ground.
    • If less than 2 V 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the P16 Instrument Cluster.
    2. Test for infinite resistance between the serial data circuit and ground.
      • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • If infinite resistance
    3. Test for less than 2 Ω in the serial data circuit end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, replace the P16 Instrument Cluster.
    • If greater than 10 V 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the P16 Instrument Cluster, ignition ON.
    2. Test for less than 1 V between the serial data circuit and ground.
      • If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
      • If less than 1 V, replace the P16 Instrument Cluster.
      • If between 2-10 V 
  3. Test or replace S70R Steering Wheel Controls Switch - Right

Left Controls Malfunction

  1. Ignition OFF and all vehicle systems OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the S70L Steering Wheel Controls Switch - Left, ignition ON.
  2. Test for less than 1 volt between the following signal circuits and ground
    • Voice - Terminal 1
    • Mute - Terminal 3
    • If 1 volt or greater 

      Repair the short to voltage on the circuit.

    • If less than 1 volt 
  3. Ignition OFF and all vehicle systems OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the S70R Steering Wheel Controls Switch - Right.
  4. Test for infinite resistance between the following signal circuit terminals and ground.
    • Voice - Terminal 1
    • Mute - Terminal 3
    • If less than infinite resistance 

      Repair the short to ground on the circuit

    • If infinite resistance 
  5. Test for less than 2 Ω on the following signal circuit terminals
    • S70R Steering Wheel Control Switch - Right signal circuit terminal 1 and S70L Steering Wheel Control Switch - Left signal circuit terminal 1
    • S70R Steering Wheel Control Switch - Right signal circuit terminal 3 and S70L Steering Wheel Control Switch - Left signal circuit terminal 3
    • If 2 Ω or greater 

      Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.

    • If less than 2 Ω 
  6. Replace the S70L Steering Wheel Controls Switch - Left.
