Go to Too Hot in Vehicle or Too Cold in Vehicle

Go to Step 11

Caution: Refer to SIR Caution in the Preface section.

1. Disable the SIR system. Refer to SIR Disabling and Enabling in SIR.
2. Turn OFF the ignition.
3. Remove and disconnect the right steering wheel controls. Refer to Steering Wheel Control Switch Assembly Replacement in Steering Wheel and Column.
4. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
5. Connect a 3-amp fused jumper wire between the remote radio control supply voltage circuit and the steering wheel controls circuit of the right steering wheel controls.

Do the counts change?

--

Go to Step 10

Go to Step 7

Measure the voltage from the remote radio control supply voltage circuit at the right steering wheel controls to a good ground.

Does the voltage measure near the specified value?

12 V

Go to Step 8

Go to Step 9

Test the steering wheel control signal circuit of the right steering wheel controls for an open or high resistance. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
