Steering Pad Switch Circuit: Procedure
- INSPECT AIR CONDITIONING CONTROL ASSEMBLY
- Remove the air conditioning control assembly. Refer to REMOVAL with the connectors still connected.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition E10-4 (ADI1) - E10-9 (SG) AUTO switch: ON Below 2.5 Ω E10-4 (ADI1) - E10-9 (SG) OFF switch: ON Approx. 329 Ω E10-4 (ADI1) - E10-9 (SG) TEMP+ switch: ON Approx. 1000 Ω E10-4 (ADI1) - E10-9 (SG) TEMP- switch: ON Approx. 3110 Ω
NG → See step 2
OK → See step 5
- INSPECT STEERING PAD SWITCH ASSEMBLY
- Remove the steering pad switch assembly.
- Disconnect the connector from the steering pad switch assembly.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance
Tester Connection (Symbols) Condition Specified Condition z2-3 (AC1) - z2-2 (EAC) AUTO switch: ON Below 2.5 Ω z2-3 (AC1) - z2-2 (EAC) OFF switch: ON Approx. 329 Ω z2-3 (AC1) - z2-2 (EAC) TEMP+ switch: ON Approx. 1000 Ω z2-3 (AC1) - z2-2 (EAC) TEMP- switch: ON Approx. 3110 Ω
NG → See step 6
OK: Go to next step
- INSPECT SPIRAL CABLE SUB-ASSEMBLY
- Disconnect the connector from the spiral cable sub-assembly.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition D16-10 (AC1) - z2-3 (AC1) Center Below 1 Ω D16-10 (AC1) - z2-3 (AC1) 2.5 rotations to the left Below 1 Ω D16-10 (AC1) - z2-3 (AC1) 2.5 rotations to the right Below 1 Ω D16-9 (EAC) - z2-2 (EAC) Center Below 1 Ω D16-9 (EAC) - z2-2 (EAC) 2.5 rotations to the left Below 1 Ω D16-9 (EAC) - z2-2 (EAC) 2.5 rotations to the right Below 1 Ω NOTE:The spiral cable is an important part of the SRS airbag system. Incorrect removal or installation of the spiral cable may prevent the airbag from deploying. Be sure to read the information shown in the brackets below.
HINT:
The spiral cable makes a maximum of approximately 5 rotations.
NG → See step 7
OK: Go to next step
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (A/C CONTROL ASSEMBLY - SPIRAL CABLE SUB-ASSEMBLY)
- Disconnect the connector from the air conditioning control assembly.
- Disconnect the connector from the spiral cable sub-assembly.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition E10-4 (ADI1) - D16-10 (AC1) Always Below 1 Ω E10-9 (SG) - D16-9 (EAC) Always Below 1 Ω E10-4 (ADI1) - D16-10 (AC1) Always 10 kΩ or higher E10-9 (SG) - D16-9 (EAC) Always 10 kΩ or higher
NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK → See step 8
