WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Lincoln MKX and 2007 Ford Edge. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The smart junction box (SJB) sends a pulse width modulated (PWM) voltage to the steering wheel controls through circuit VLN04 (VT/GY) (Edge) or circuit VLN37 (BU/WH) (MKX) to the clockspring. The voltage passes through the clockspring to the steering wheel control switches. Ground to the clockspring is supplied through circuit GD116 (BK/VT).
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- Steering wheel control switch harness
- Steering wheel control switch(es)
- Clockspring
