Normal Operation
The Smart Junction Box (SJB) sends a pulse-width modulated voltage to the steering wheel controls through circuit VLN04 (VT/GY) (Navigator) or circuit VLN18 (BU/WH) (Expedition) to the clockspring. The voltage passes through the clockspring to the steering wheel harness and on to the steering wheel controls. Ground is provided through the clockspring and circuit GD133 (BK).
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- Steering wheel harness
- Steering wheel control switch
- Clockspring
