Steering Pad Switch Circuit (03/2012 - 07/2012): Procedure

  1. INSPECT RADIO RECEIVER ASSEMBLY 
    1. Disconnect the G9 radio receiver assembly connector.
    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      G9-7 (SW1) - G9-6 (SWG) No switch pushed 95 to 105 kΩ
      Seek+ switch pushed Below 2.5 Ω
      Seek- switch pushed 313 to 345 Ω
      Volume+ switch pushed 950 to 1050 Ω
      Volume- switch pushed 2955 to 3265 Ω
      G9-8 (SW2) - G9-6 (SWG) No switch pushed 95 to 105 kΩ
      MODE switch pushed Below 2.5 Ω
      Voice switch pushed 2955 to 3265 Ω
      On hook switch pushed 313 to 345 Ω
      Off hook switch pushed 950 to 1050 Ω

    NG → See step   2 

    OK → See step   4 

  2. INSPECT STEERING PAD SWITCH ASSEMBLY 
    1. Disconnect the z13 steering pad switch assembly connector.
    2. Measure the resistance according to the values in the table below.

  3. INSPECT SPIRAL CABLE WITH SENSOR SUB-ASSEMBLY 
    1. Disconnect the z13 steering pad switch assembly connector.
    2. Disconnect the F98 spiral cable with sensor sub-assembly connector.
    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      z13-9 (EAU) - F98-4 (EAU) Center Below 1 Ω
      2.5 rotations to the left
      2.5 rotations to the right
      z13-11 (AU1) - F98-6 (AU1) Center Below 1 Ω
      2.5 rotations to the left
      2.5 rotations to the right
      z13-10 (AU2) - F98-5 (AU2) Center Below 1 Ω
      2.5 rotations to the left
      2.5 rotations to the right
    4. After setting the spiral cable with sensor sub-assembly to the center position, rotate the spiral cable with sensor sub-assembly 2.5 times clockwise. Then while rotating the spiral cable with sensor sub-assembly 5 times counterclockwise, measure the resistance as shown in the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      z13-9 (EAU) - F98-4 (EAU) Always Below 1 Ω
      z13-11 (AU1) - F98-6 (AU1) Always Below 1 Ω
      z13-10 (AU2) - F98-5 (AU2) Always Below 1 Ω
      NOTE:
      • The spiral cable with sensor sub-assembly is an important part of the SRS airbag system. Incorrect removal or installation of the spiral cable with sensor sub-assembly may prevent the airbag from deploying. Refer to the procedures shown .
      • As the spiral cable with sensor sub-assembly may break, do not rotate the spiral cable with sensor sub-assembly more than the specified amount.
