B148E-STEERING WHEEL CONTROL [+] SWITCH CIRCUIT





For a complete wiring diagrams, refer to Wiring.

Theory of Operation
The Steering Wheel Control Plus (+) Switch is part of the Right Steering Switch. The switching status is transferred to the Steering Column Control Module (SCCM) by way of the LIN bus, a serial sub-bus. The SCCM converts the data to CAN(B) and sends the message to the corresponding module on the bus.

When Monitored
Continuously with the ignition on.

Set Condition
The Steering Column Control Module senses that the Steering Wheel Control Plus (+) Switch is in the Set position for greater than 50 seconds.

Possible Causes
- INTERMITTENT STEERING WHEEL CONTROL [+] SWITCH CIRCUIT DTC
- RIGHT STEERING SWITCH
- STEERING COLUMN CONTROL MODULE (SCCM)
