1. Steering Wheel Controls Inoperative

Conditions for Running the DTC

  1. Battery voltage is between 9-16 volts
  2. The ignition is ON.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

B1529 03

  1. The BCM detects a short to ground in the B+ voltage reference circuit.
  2. The above condition is present for greater than 30 seconds.

B1529 07

  1. The BCM detects a short to voltage in the B+ voltage reference circuit.
  2. 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

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

Circuit/System Testing

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the right steering wheel control switch.
  2. Ignition ON, test for B+ between the voltage reference circuit terminal 3 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 BCM. If greater than the specified value, test the voltage reference circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
  3. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the right steering wheel control switch.

Component Testing

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the right steering wheel control switch.
  2. Test the resistance between the voltage reference terminal 3 and the signal terminal 4 while depressing the appropriate steering wheel controls switch listed below. If not the specified range, replace the steering wheel switch.
