AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM Steering Pad Switch Circuit

DESCRIPTION

The R/F, TEMP UP (+), and TEMP DOWN (-) switches are located on the steering pad switch RH. The resistance of the steering pad switch RH changes in accordance with switch operation. The air conditioning control assembly outputs voltage to the steering pad switch RH and reads voltage changes due to the resistance changes that result from switch operation.

Tech Tips

If there is an open in the circuit, the A/C system cannot be operated by the steering pad switch RH.

If there is a short in the circuit, the resulting condition is the same as if the switch were continuously depressed. Therefore, the air conditioning control assembly cannot be operated by the steering pad switch RH, and the air conditioning control assembly will not be able to function correctly.
