Repair procedures

Inspection

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)]

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.
