Inspection
1.

Measure a resistance of NTC and Heated pad.

–

NTC resistance (Black / Gray) :

10.0 kΩ ± 3% [25 °C (77 °F)]

8.875 - 11.27 kΩ [at 23 - 27 °C (73.4 - 80.6 °F)]

–

Heated pad resistance (Black / Yellow) : 1.95 ± 0.2Ω [21 - 23°C (69.8 - 73.4 °F)]

2.

Measure a temperature.

–

The temperature of wheel surface grip must rise from -20 °C (-4 °F) to 20 °C (68 °F) within 6 minute

–

The temperature of wheel surface grip must keep 38 ± 4 °C (100.4 ± 39.2 °F) after 25 minute

–

At that time switch on, all measure point (1 - 8)

3.

Check for continuity between the terminals in each heated steering switch.

    Components and components location Components 1. Drive air bag module (DAB) 2. Remote control swtich 3. Steering wheel bezel 4.

    Description and operation Description The Motor Driven Power Steering (MDPS) system uses an electric motor to assist the steering force and it is an engine operation independent steering system.
