B1489-STEERING WHEEL CONTROL AUDIO SWITCH CIRCUIT



Theory of Operation

The Steering Wheel Control Audio Switch, when pressed, sends a multiplexed signal to the Right Steering Switch. The switching status is transferred to the Steering Control Module (SCM) by way of the LIN bus, a serial sub-bus. The SCM converts the data to CAN(B) and sends the message to the corresponding module on the bus.

- When Monitored:

The Steering Control Module senses that the Steering Wheel Control Audio Switch is in the Set position for greater than 50 seconds.
