DTC Descriptor

DTC B3622 07

Steering Wheel Controls Signal Circuit High Voltage

Diagnostic Fault Information

Circuit Short to Ground Open/High Resistance Short to Voltage Signal Performance
12V Reference B1529 03, B1405 03 1 B1529 07 B1529 07
Steering Wheel Control Switch Signal 1 1 B3622 07 -
1. Steering Wheel Controls Inoperative


Circuit/System Description

The body control module (BCM) monitors the steering wheel control signal circuit voltage. If the voltage level is too high, damage may result in the system. When a high voltage condition is detected, the BCM will ignore the switch command.

Conditions for Running the DTC


• Battery voltage is between 9-16 V.

• The ignition is ON.


Conditions for Setting the DTC

The BCM detects a short to voltage in the steering wheel control switch signal circuit.

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.

3. 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.

4. Test for greater than 11 V between the voltage reference circuit terminal 1 and the signal circuit terminal 2.

5. 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.

6. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X3 harness connector at the K9 Body Control Module.

7. Test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit terminal 2 at the S70R Steering Wheel Controls Switch - Right and ground.

8. If less than the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to ground.

9. 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.
