B148A-STEERING WHEEL CONTROL MENU SWITCH CIRCUIT
For a complete wiring diagram Refer to Diagrams/Electrical. Electrical Diagrams
Theory of Operation
The Steering Wheel Control Menu Switch is part of the Right Steering Switch. The switching status is transferred to the Steering Control Module (SCM) by way of the LIN bus, a serial sub-bus. The SCM converts the data to CAN(B) and sends the message to the corresponding module on the bus.
- When Monitored:
Continuously with the ignition on.
- Set Condition:
The Steering Control Module senses that the Steering Wheel Control Menu Switch is in the Set position for greater than 50 seconds.
