Steering Pad Switch Circuit

Steering Pad Switch Circuit

DESCRIPTION

AUTO, OFF, TEMP UP (+), and TEMP DOWN (-) switches are located on the steering pad switch. The resistance of the steering pad switch changes in accordance with switch operation. The A/C control assembly outputs voltage to the steering pad switch and reads voltage changes due to the resistance changes that result from switch operation.

HINT: If there is an open in the circuit, the A/C system cannot be operated by the steering pad switch assembly If there is a short in the circuit, the resulting condition is the same as if the switch were continuously depressed. Therefore, the A/C control assembly cannot be operated by the steering pad switch assembly, and the A/C control assembly will not be able to function correctly.
