Pinpoint Test H: Steering Wheel Module Wiring Harness Checks
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.
- H1: STEERING WHEEL MODULE WIRING HARNESS INTEGRITY CHECK
- Remove the driver airbag module. Refer to: DRIVER AIRBAG MODULE
- Check the integrity of the wiring harness (clockspring to the heated steering wheel control module).
Is a wiring harness fault present?
Yes
REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
No
GO to H2
- H2: STEERING WHEEL MODULE VBATT CIRCUIT FOR OPEN CIRCUIT
- Disconnect Clockspring electrical connector (steering wheel side).
- Disconnect Clockspring electrical connector (steering column side).
- Rotate the steering wheel during this test to check for an intermittent fault.
- Measure the resistance between the clockspring electrical connector (steering wheel side - VBatt), harness side and the clockspring electrical connector (steering column side - VBatt) harness side.
Is the resistance less than 1 ohm?
Yes
Install a new clockspring. Refer to: CLOCKSPRING TEST the system for normal operation.
No
GO to H3
- H3: STEERING WHEEL MODULE GROUND CIRCUIT FOR OPEN CIRCUIT
- Rotate the steering wheel during this test to check for an intermittent fault.
- Measure the resistance between the clockspring electrical connector (steering wheel side - ground), harness side and the clockspring electrical connector (steering column side - ground) harness side.
Is the resistance less than 1 ohm?
Yes
Install a new clockspring. Refer to: CLOCKSPRING TEST the system for normal operation.
No
GO to H4
- H4: STEERING WHEEL MODULE AND LOCAL INTERCONNECT NETWORK OPEN CIRCUIT TEST 4
- Rotate the steering wheel during this test to check for an intermittent fault.
- Measure the resistance between clockspring electrical connector (steering wheel side - LIN 1), harness side and clockspring connector (column side LIN 1), harness side.
Is the resistance less than 1 ohm?
Yes
Install a new clockspring. Refer to: CLOCKSPRING TEST the system for normal operation.
No
Install a new heated steering wheel control module or steering wheel switch assembly (depending on model variant) as necessary. TEST the system for normal operation.
