1. Steering Wheel Controls Inoperative | ||||
Circuit/System Description
The body control module (BCM) supplies voltage to the steering wheel control switches and monitors the return signal. 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.
Conditions for Running the DTC
| • | The system voltage is between 9 V and 16 V. |
| • | The ignition is ON. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
B1529 03
| • | The BCM detects a short to ground in the 12 V reference circuit. |
| • | The above condition is present for greater than 30 seconds. |
B1529 07
| • | The BCM detects a short to voltage in the 12 V reference circuit. |
| • | The above condition is present for greater than 30 seconds. |
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The BCM will ignore switch inputs.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists. |
| • | A history DTC will clear once 100 consecutive malfunction free ignition cycles have occurred. |

Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the X85 Inflatable Restraint Steering Wheel Module Coil.
- Ignition ON, test for greater than 11 V between the voltage reference circuit terminal 5 (X1) and ground.
- Test for greater than 11 V between the voltage reference circuit terminal 5 (X1) and the signal circuit terminal 4 (X1).
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the K9 Body Control Module (BCM).
- Test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit terminal 4 (X1) at the X85 Inflatable Restraint Steering Wheel Module Coil and ground.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the S70R Steering Wheel Control Switch - Right.
| ⇒ | 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 (BCM). |
| ⇒ | 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 (BCM). |
| ⇒ | If less than the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to ground. |
Component Testing
Static Test
- Disconnect the harness connector at the X85 Inflatable Restraint Steering Wheel Module Coil.
- Test the resistance between the terminals 4 (X1) and 5 (X1) of the X85 Inflatable Restraint Steering Wheel Module Coil.
| ⇒ | If any of the resistance measurements for the individual switches are not within the specified resistance values, replace the S70R Steering Wheel Control Switch - Right. |
