Circuit/System Testing

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the S70L Steering Wheel Controls Switch - Left, ignition ON.
  2. Test for at least 9.7 V between the ignition circuit terminal 12 and ground.
    • If less than 9.7 V 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X3 harness connector at the K9 Body Control Module.
    2. Test for infinite resistance between the 12 V reference 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 12 V reference circuit end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, verify there is voltage at the fuse and the fuse is good.
    • If 9.7 V or greater 
  3. Ignition OFF, connect the harness connector at the S70L Steering Wheel Controls Switch - Left, disconnect the X3 harness connector at the K9 Body Control Module, ignition ON.
  4. Test for less than 1 V between the signal circuit terminals listed below and ground:
    • Terminal 4
    • Terminal 16
    • If 1 V or greater 

      Repair the short to voltage on the signal circuit.

    • If less than 1 V 
  5. Ignition OFF.
  6. Test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit terminals listed below and ground:
    • Terminal 4
    • Terminal 16
    • If less than infinite resistance 

      Repair the short to ground on the signal circuit.

    • If infinite resistance 
  7. Disconnect the harness connector at the S70L Steering Wheel Controls Switch - Left.
  8. Test for less than 5 Ω between the circuit terminals listed below:
    • S70L Steering Wheel Controls Switch - Left terminal 12 and K9 Body Control Module terminal 4.
    • S70L Steering Wheel Controls Switch - Left terminal 10 and K9 Body Control Module terminal 16.
    • If greater than 5 Ω 

      Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.

    • If less than 5 Ω 
  9. Test or replace the S70L Steering Wheel Controls Switch - Left.
