1. Steering Wheel Controls Inoperative

Circuit/System Description

The body control module (BCM) supplies voltage to the audio steering wheel control switches and monitors the reindicator. Each switch state is associated to a set resistance value and when pressed a specific voltage drop occurs across the resistor unique to the switch. The BCM identifies the switch selection and activates the feature.

Diagnostic Aids
    • This diagnostic is for the audio steering wheel controls.
    • Before diagnosis of the steering wheel controls, ensure the primary controls of the associated component are functioning properly.

Circuit/System Testing
  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the S70R Steering Wheel Controls Switch - Right.
  2. Ignition ON, test for greater than 11 V between the voltage reference circuit terminal 1 and ground.
    3. ⇒If less than the specified value, test the voltage reference circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K9 Body Control Module.
  3. Test for greater than 11 V between the voltage reference circuit terminal 1 and the signal circuit terminal 2.
    4. ⇒If less than the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K9 Body Control Module.
  4. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X3 harness connector at the K9 Body Control Module.
  5. Test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit terminal 2 at the S70R Steering Wheel Controls Switch - Right and ground.
    6. ⇒If less than the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to ground.
  6. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the S70R Steering Wheel Controls Switch - Right.

Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
