Pinpoint Test A: Heated Steering Wheel Switch/Temperature Test

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2020 Jaguar XE and 2019 Jaguar XE. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. A1: HEATED STEERING WHEEL SWITCH OPERATION TEST

  3. A3: HEATED STEERING WHEEL TEMPERATURE TEST 
    NOTE: An infrared thermometer is used during this test. The steering wheel temperature should have increased by approximately 10°C after 5 minutes. Do not measure the steering wheel temperature at the seam in the in the leather; this is where the heater element starts and finishes and will produce inaccurate test results.
    1. Set the heated steering wheel switch to OFF.
    2. Set the climate control to cool the vehicle interior for 5 minutes.
    3. Using an infrared thermometer, measure and record the temperature of the steering wheel rim at six equidistant points.
