Circuit/System Description

The body control module (BCM) supplies voltage to the steering wheel control switches and monitors the return signal. Each switch state is associated to a set resistance value and when pressed a specific voltage drop occurs across the resistor unique to the switch. The BCM identifies the switch selection and activates the feature.

Conditions for Running the DTC

  • The system voltage is between 9-16 V.
  • The ignition is ON.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

B1529 03

  • The BCM detects a short to ground in the 12 V reference circuit.
  • The above condition is present for greater than 30 s.

B1529 07

  • The BCM detects a short to voltage in the 12 V reference circuit.
  • The above condition is present for greater than 30 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The BCM will ignore switch inputs.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

  • The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists.
  • A history DTC will clear once 100 consecutive malfunction free ignition cycles have occurred.

Circuit/System Testing

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the S70R Steering Wheel Controls Switch - Right.
  2. Ignition ON, test for greater than 11 V between the voltage reference circuit terminal 1 and ground.
  • If less than the specified value, test the voltage reference circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K9 Body Control Module.
  1. Test for greater than 11 V between the voltage reference circuit terminal 1 and the signal circuit terminal 2.
  • If less than the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K9 Body Control Module.
  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X3 harness connector at the K9 Body Control Module.
  2. Test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit terminal 2 at the S70R Steering Wheel Controls Switch - Right and ground.
  • If less than the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to ground.
  1. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the S70R Steering Wheel Controls Switch - Right.

Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
