TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)
The power supply circuit to the steering wheel audio 
remote control switch, the steering wheel audio 
remote control switch, the combination meter, or the 
clock spring may be defective.

PROBABLE CAUSES

• Malfunction of steering wheel audio remote con-

trol switch

• Malfunctions of combination meter

• Malfunction of the clock spring

• Damaged harness wires and connectors

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

STEP 1. Connector check: C-202 steering wheel 
audio remote control switch connector

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : 

Go to Step 2.

NO : 

Repair the defective connector.

STEP 2. Voltage measurement at C-202 steering 
wheel audio remote control switch connector.
(1) Disconnect the connector, and measure at the 

wiring harness side.

(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ACC" position, and 

turn the tail lamp switch to the "ON" position.

(3) Measure the voltage between terminal No.1 and 

body earth.

OK: System voltage

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : 

Go to Step 3.

NO : 

Go to Step 5.

STEP 3. Check the wiring harness between C-202 
steering wheel audio remote control switch 
connector terminal No.5 and body earth.

• Check the earth wire for open circuit.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : 

Go to Step 4.

NO : 

Repair the wiring harness.

STEP 4. Check the steering wheel audio remote 
control switch.
Illumination check. (Refer to .)

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : 

Go to Step 11.

NO : 

Replace the steering wheel voice control 
switch.

STEP 5. Connector check: C-204 and C-205 clock 
spring connectors

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : 

Go to Step 6.

NO : 

Repair the defective connector.

STEP 6. Check the clock spring.
Check whether the clock spring is in good condition 
(Refer to GROUP 52B 

− Driver’s Air bag module and 

clock spring ).
