S70E Steering Wheel Controls Switch - Radio Presets

    NOTE:

    It may take up to 2 min for all vehicle systems to power down before an accurate ground or low reference circuit continuity test can be performed.

  1. Ignition/Vehicle & All vehicle systems - Off
  2. Disconnect the electrical connector: S70E Steering Wheel Controls Switch - Radio Presets
  3. Test for less than 10 ohms between the test points: Ground circuit terminal 1 & Ground
    • If 10 ohms or greater 
    1. Disconnect the concerned ground connection.
    2. Test for less than 2 ohms between the test points: Ground circuit terminal 1 @ Component harness & The other end of the circuit @ Ground terminal
