Diagnostic Test

  1. DTC STATUS IS ACTIVE 
    NOTE: If U1109-LOST COMMUNICATION WITH LIN STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS is set along with this DTC, diagnose the communication DTC first.
    NOTE: If P0562-BATTERY VOLTAGE LOW or P0563-BATTERY VOLTAGE HIGH is set along with this DTC, diagnose the battery voltage DTC first.
    1. Ignition on, engine not running.
    2. With the scan tool, select View DTCs in the Steering Control Module.

      Is the DTC status Active at this time?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  2

      No 

      • Go to step  6
  2. (G206) EVIC MUX SIGNAL 2 CIRCUIT SHORT TO THE (G907) EVIC/NAV MUX RETURN CIRCUIT

    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Remove the Driver Airbag in accordance with the Service Information to gain access to the Steering Wheel Control Switches.
    3. Disconnect the Left Steering Switch harness connector.
    4. Disconnect the Right Steering Switch harness connector.
      NOTE: Before proceeding, thoroughly inspect the wiring harness and connectors between the Left Steering Switch and the Right Steering Switch for a short to ground or to any other circuit.
    5. Measure the resistance between the (G206) EVIC Mux Signal 2 circuit and the (G907) EVIC/NAV Mux Return circuit.

      Is the resistance below 5.0 Ohms?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go to step  3
  3. (G206) EVIC MUX SIGNAL 2 CIRCUIT SHORT TO GROUND

    NOTE: Before proceeding, thoroughly inspect the wiring harness and connectors between the Left Steering Switch and the Right Steering Switch for a short to ground or to any other circuit.
    1. Measure the resistance between the (G206) EVIC Mux Signal 2 circuit and ground.

      Is the resistance below 5.0 Ohms?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go to step  4
  4. LEFT STEERING SWITCH 
    Fig 3: Right Steering Switch Harness Connector

    1. Reconnect the Left Steering Switch harness connector.
    2. Measure the resistance between the (G206) EVIC Mux Signal 2 circuit and the (G907) EVIC/NAV Mux Return circuit at the Right Steering Switch harness connector.

      Is the resistance approximately 10.00 K Ohms (+/- 10%)?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go to step  5
  5. RIGHT STEERING SWITCH 
    1. Replace the Right Steering Switch in accordance with the Service Information.
    2. Reconnect the C206 (LIN Bus) harness connector.
    3. Turn the ignition on.
    4. Press and release the Audio Switch several times.
    5. With the scan tool, Clear Stored DTCs in the Steering Control Module.
    6. With the scan tool, select Data Display and view the Audio switch data.
    7. While monitoring the Audio switch data, press and release the Audio Switch several times.

      Does the Audio switch data change from Set to Not Set as the switch is pressed and released?

      Yes 

      • Test Complete.

      No 

  6. INTERMITTENT STEERING WHEEL CONTROL AUDIO SWITCH CIRCUIT DTC 
    1. The conditions necessary to set this DTC are not present at this time.
    2. Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors.
    3. While monitoring the scan tool data relative to this circuit, wiggle test the wiring and connectors.
    4. Look for the data to change or for the DTC to reset during the wiggle test.

      Were any problems found?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Test complete.
