Remote Switch: Testing and Inspection
REMOTE SWITCHES
Any diagnosis of the Audio system should begin with the use of the scan tool.
For complete circuit diagrams, refer to the appropriate wiring information.
WARNING: Disable the airbag system before attempting any steering wheel, steering column, seat belt tensioner, side airbag, or instrument
panel component diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the airbag system
capacitor to discharge before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the airbag system. Failure to take the
proper precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment and possible personal injury.
1. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable. Remove the remote radio switch(es) from the steering wheel.
2. Use an ohmmeter to check the switch resistances as shown in the Remote Radio Switch Test table. If the remote radio switch resistances check
OK, Go to STEP 3. If not OK, replace the faulty switch.
3. Reconnect the battery negative cable. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position. Check for 5 volts at the radio control circuit cavities of the
steering wheel wire harness connectors for both remote radio switches. If OK, refer to appropriate testing. If not OK, repair the circuit as required.
