Press each steering wheel auxiliary control switch and compare the resistance reading to
the chart below.
Switch
Resistance (ohms)
TEMP UP
379-387
TEMP DOWN
1695-1730
NO FUNCTION
4468-4558
Are the resistance readings within the range?
G3 CHECK CIRCUIT 1070 (BN/LB) FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
Disconnect: Steering Wheel Control Switch.
Measure the resistance between EATC module C228b-7, circuit 1070 (BN/LB) and ground.
Is the resistance reading less than 10,000 ohms?
G4 CHECK CIRCUIT 1070 (BN/LB) FOR AN OPEN
Disconnect: Steering Wheel Auxiliary Control Switch.
Measure the resistance between EATC module C228b-7, circuit 1070 (BN/LB) and
steering wheel auxiliary control switch C2208-6, circuit 1070 (BN/LB).
Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?
G5 CHECK CIRCUIT 57 (BK) FOR AN OPEN
Measure the resistance between steering wheel auxiliary control switch C2208-3, circuit 57
(BK) and ground.
Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?
G6 CHECK MODULE CONNECTION
Carry out the Electronic Automatic Temperature Control (EATC) Module Cold Boot
Process.
Carry out the EATC on-demand self test.
Operate the system.
Does the concern return?
