Circuit/System Verification

Ignition ON, observe the scan tool Vehicle Direction Warning Switch Status parameter while pressing and releasing the vehicle direction warning switch. The parameter should change between ON and OFF.

Circuit/System Testing

1. Ignition OFF, remove the ignition key, open the driver door, disconnect the scan tool, all vehicle systems OFF, this may take up to 2 min.

2. Disconnect the harness connector at the S70L Steering Wheel Controls Switch - Left.

3. Test for less than 5 ohms between the S70L Steering Wheel Controls Switch - Left ground circuit terminal 7 and ground.

If greater than the specified value, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.

4. Ignition ON, verify the scan tool Vehicle Direction Warning Switch Status parameter is OPEN.

If not the specified value, test the signal circuit terminal 2 for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K109 Frontview Camera Module.

5. Install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 2 and ground circuit terminal 7. Verify within 10 s the scan tool Vehicle Direction Warning Switch Status parameter is CLOSED.

If not the specified value, test the signal circuit terminal for a short to battery or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K109 Frontview Camera Module.

6. If all circuits test normal, replace the S70L Steering Wheel Controls Switch - Left.
