Diagnostic Fault Information
Circuit/System Description
The body control module (BCM) supplies voltage to the audio steering wheel control switches and monitors the return signal. Each switch state is
associated to a set resistance value and when pressed a specific voltage drop occurs across the resistor unique to the switch. The BCM identifies the
switch selection and activates the feature.
Conditions for Running the DTC
* Battery voltage is between 9-16 volts
* The ignition is ON.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
