Steering Pad Switch Circuit: Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Lexus GS 430 and 2006 Lexus GS 300. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
This circuit sends an operation signal from the steering pad switch to the radio receiver assembly. If there is an open in the circuit, the audio system cannot be operated by the steering pad switch. If there is a short in the circuit, the same condition as that when the switch is continuously depressed occurs. Therefore, the radio receiver assembly cannot be operated by the steering pad switch, and also the radio receiver assembly itself does not function.
