Circuit/System Testing

  1. Ignition ON.
  2. Verify that DTC U152B is not set.
    • Go to next step: If the DTC is not set 
  3. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X2 harness connector at the X85 Steering Wheel Airbag Coil.
  4. Test for less than 10 Ω between the ground circuit terminal 3 and ground.
    • If 10 Ω or greater 
    1. Ignition OFF.
    2. Test for less than 2 Ω in the ground circuit end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, repair the open/high resistance in the ground connection.
    • Go to next step: If less than 10 Ω 
  5. Ignition ON.
  6. Verify a test lamp illuminates between the ignition circuit terminal 9 and ground.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate and the circuit fuse is good 
    1. Ignition OFF, remove the test lamp.
    2. Test for less than 2 Ω in the ignition circuit end to end.
      • Go to next step: If 2 Ω or greater
    3. Verify the in-line fuse is OK and there is voltage at the fuse.
      • If the in-line fuse is open, replace the K32 Steering Wheel Heating Control Module.
      • If the in-line fuse is OK, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate and the circuit fuse is open 
    1. Ignition OFF.
    2. Test for infinite resistance between the ignition voltage circuit and ground.
      • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • If infinite resistance, replace the K32 Steering Wheel Heating Control Module.
    • Go to next step: If the test lamp illuminates 
  7. Ignition OFF, connect the X2 harness connector at the X85 Steering Wheel Airbag Coil. Disconnect the harness connector at the S70A Steering Wheel Control Switch - Left Lower.
  8. Test for less than 10 Ω between the ground circuit terminal 7 and ground.
    • If 10 Ω or greater 
    1. Ignition OFF.
    2. Test for less than 2 Ω in the ground circuit end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, repair the open/high resistance in the ground connection.
    • Go to next step: If less than 10 Ω 
  9. Ignition ON.
  10. Test for B+ between the signal circuit terminal 1 and ground.
    • If less than B+ 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the in-line harness connector at the K32 Steering Wheel Heating Control Module.
    2. Test for infinite resistance between the control circuit and ground.
      • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • Go to next step: If infinite resistance
    3. Test for less than 2 Ω in the control circuit end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, replace the K32 Steering Wheel Heating Control Module.
    • Go to next step: If B+ 
  11. Test for infinite resistance between the S70A Steering Wheel Control Switch - Left Lower signal terminal 1 and the ground terminal 7 with the steering wheel heater switch released.
    • If less than infinite resistance 

      Replace the S70A Steering Wheel Controls Switch - Left Lower.

    • Go to next step: If infinite resistance 
  12. Test for less than 40 Ω between the S70A Steering Wheel Control Switch - Left Lower signal terminal 1 and the ground terminal 7 with the steering wheel heater switch pressed.
    • If 40 Ω or greater 

      Replace the S70A Steering Wheel Controls Switch - Left Lower

    • Go to next step: If less than 40 Ω 
  13. Connect the harness connector at the S70A Steering Wheel Control Switch - Left Lower. Disconnect the harness connector at the E15 Steering Wheel Heater.
  14. Test for less than 10 Ω between the ground circuits listed below and ground.
    • Terminal 2
    • Terminal 4
    • If 10 Ω or greater 

      Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.

    • Go to next step: If less than 10 Ω 
  15. Test for 1.5 - 3.0 Ω between the control circuit terminal 1 and the ground terminal 2.
    • If not within the specified range 

      Replace the E15 Steering Wheel Heater.

    • Go to next step: If within the specified range 
  16. Test for 10 - 12k Ω between the signal circuit terminal 3 and the ground terminal 4.
    • If not within the specified range 

      Replace the E15 Steering Wheel Heater.

    • Go to next step: If within the specified range 
  17. Replace the K32 Steering Wheel Heating Control Module.
