Circuit/System Testing
CAUTION:
Refer to SIR Caution
.
IMPORTANT:
It is recommended that Component Testing is performed before Circuit Testing when diagnosing steering wheel controls.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the audio steering wheel control switch.
- Ignition ON, Radio ON, test for 8.5-12 volts between the 10-volt reference circuit and ground at the harness connector.
- If less than 8.5 volts, test 10-volt reference circuit for short to ground or open/high resistance. If the circuit test is normal, replace the radio.
- Test for 0-0.5 volts between the signal circuit and ground at the harness connector.
- If greater than 0.5 volt, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit test is normal, replace the radio.
- Test for 8.5-12 volts between the supply voltage circuit and the signal circuit at the harness connector.
- If less than 8.5 volts, test the signal circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit test is normal, replace the radio.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the radio.
- Test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit and ground at the harness connector.
- If less than infinite ohms of resistance, test the signal circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit test is normal, refer to component testing.
- If all circuit test normal, refer to component testing.
