Inspection Procedure 4: Even When The Steering Wheel Voice Control Switch Is Operated, The Conversation Is Not Possible.Steering Wheel Voice Controln Switch Circuit (Part 1):
Steering Wheel Voice Controln Switch Circuit (Part 2):
Steering Wheel Voice Controln Switch Circut (Part 3):
FUNCTION
When the steering wheel voice control switch is operated, the switch signal is transmitted to the radio and CD player [vehicles without MMCS] or multivision display [vehicles with MMCS]. Then, via the CAN communication, the signal is transmitted from the radio and CD player [vehicles without MMCS] or multivision display [vehicles with MMCS] to the hands free module.
TROUBLE JUDGMENT CONDITIONS
If the conversation is not possible even when the steering wheel voice control switch is operated, the steering wheel voice control switch or radio and CD player [vehicles without MMCS] or the multivision display [vehicles with MMCS] may be defective.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
- The steering wheel voice control switch may be defective.
- The hands free module may be defective.
- The radio and CD player [vehicles without MMCS] or multivision display [vehicles with MMCS] may be defective.
- Damaged harness wires and connectors

2. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
3. Diagnose the CAN bus line.
4. Turn the ignition switch to "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q : Is the CAN bus line found to be normal?
YES : Go to Step 3.
NO : Repair the CAN bus line (Refer to Controller Area Network, Diagnosis).
STEP 3. Check the steering wheel voice control switch.
Remove the steering wheel voice control switch. Then check continuity between the switch terminals.
Q : Is the steering wheel voice control switch in good condition?
YES : Go to Step 4.
NO : Replace the steering wheel voice control switch.
STEP 4. Check the steering wheel audio remote control switch.
Remove the steering wheel audio remote control switch. Then check continuity between the switch terminals.
Q : Is the steering wheel audio remote control switch in good condition?
YES : Go to Step 5.
NO : Replace the steering wheel audio remote control switch.
STEP 3. Check the steering wheel voice control switch.
Remove the steering wheel voice control switch. Then check continuity between the switch terminals.
Q : Is the steering wheel voice control switch in good condition?
YES : Go to Step 4.
NO : Replace the steering wheel voice control switch.
STEP 4. Check the steering wheel audio remote control switch.
Remove the steering wheel audio remote control switch. Then check continuity between the switch terminals.
Q : Is the steering wheel audio remote control switch in good condition?
YES : Go to Step 5.
NO : Replace the steering wheel audio remote control switch.
STEP 5. Check steering wheel voice control switch connector C-206 and steering wheel audio remote control switch connector C-213 for loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector.
Q : Are steering wheel voice control switch connector C-206 and steering wheel audio remote control switch connector C-213 in good condition?
YES : Go to Step 6.
NO : Repair or replace the damaged component(s). Refer to General (Electrical), Harness Connector Inspection. The steering remote control switch should work normally.
STEP 6. Check the wiring harness between steering wheel voice control switch connector C-206 (terminal 3) and steering wheel audio remote control switch connector C-213 (terminal 3).
- Check the communication lines for open circuit and short circuit.
Q : Is the wiring harness between steering wheel voice control switch connector C-206 (terminal 3) and steering wheel audio remote control switch connector C-213 (terminal 3) in good condition?
YES : Go to Step 7.
NO : The wiring harness may be damaged or the connector(s) may have loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector. Repair the wiring harness as necessary.
STEP 7. Check the wiring harness between steering wheel voice control switch connector C-206 (terminal 2) and clock spring connector C-202 (terminal 4).
- Check the communication lines for open circuit and short circuit.
Q : Is the wiring harness between steering wheel voice control switch connector C-206 (terminal 2) and clock spring connector C-202 (terminal 4) in good condition?
YES : Go to Step 8.
NO : The wiring harness may be damaged or the connector(s) may have loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector. Repair the wiring harness as necessary.
STEP 8. Retest the system
Check that the hands-free cellular phone system works normally when the steering wheel voice control switch is operated.
Q : Check that the hands-free cellular phone system works normally when the steering wheel voice control switch is operated.
YES : The trouble can be an intermittent malfunction (Refer to General (Body and Chassis), How to use Troubleshooting/inspection Service Points, How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction).
NO : Replace the radio and CD player [vehicles without MMCS] or multivision display [vehicles with MMCS].
