INSPECTION PROCEDURE

Tech Tips


  • Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following inspection procedure.

  • The steering heater unit is built into the steering wheel assembly which cannot be disassembled. Therefore, when the steering heater unit has a malfunction, replace the steering wheel assembly.

      Front view of wire harness connector

      (to Steering Wheel Control Assembly)

      Disconnect the B steering wheel controller connector.

    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      B-1 (TH1) - B-2 (TH2) 10 to 30°C (50 to 86°F) 8.132 to 18.43 kΩ
      B-4 (SH1) - B-3 (SH2) 20°C (68°F) 1.89 to 2.25 Ω

  2. INSPECT SPIRAL WITH SENSOR CABLE SUB-ASSEMBLY


    1. Check the connectors and cables of the spiral with sensor cable sub-assembly.

      OK
      There are no defects such as scratches, cracks, dents or damage on the connectors or cables.

    2. Disconnect the N32 and z5 spiral with sensor cable sub-assembly connectors.

      Component without harness connected

      (Steering Heater Switch)

      Disconnect the N6 steering heater switch connector.

    2. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Tech Tips

      As the circuit has a diode, perform the measurement in diode test mode, and do not mistake the polarity.

      Standard Voltage

      Tester Connection

      (Positive (+) tester probe - Negative (-) tester probe)

      		 Condition Specified Condition
      N6-1 (B) - N6-10 (+) Always Below 1.25 V
      N6-9 (IN) - N6-10 (+) Steering heater switch is pushed Below 1.25 V

    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      N6-1 (B) - N6-9 (IN) Steering heater switch is pushed Below 1 Ω
      N6-1 (B) - N6-9 (IN) Steering heater switch is not pushed 10 kΩ or higher
