CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
HINT:
- Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following inspection procedure.
- The steering wheel heater unit is built into the steering wheel assembly which cannot be disassembled. Therefore, when the steering wheel heater unit has a malfunction, replace the steering wheel assembly.
PROCEDURE
| 1. | INSPECT STEERING WHEEL HEATER UNIT (THERMISTOR/HEATER/THERMOSTAT) |
| (a) Disconnect the B steering vibration and heater ECU connector. |
|
(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance:
| Tester Connection | Condition | Specified Condition |
|---|---|---|
| B-3 (TH1) - B-2 (TH2) | 10 to 30°C (50 to 86°F) | 8.132 to 18.43 kΩ |
| B-5 (SH1) - B-1 (SH2) | 20°C (68°F) | 1.91 to 2.25 Ω |
