Repair Procedures

INSPECTION

  1. Measure the resistance of the NTC and the heating plate.
    • NTC resistance (Black/Yellow, Black): 10.0 kΩ ± 10% (25 °C)
    • Heating element resistance (Yellow, Black): 1.6~2.0 Ω ±10%
  2. Measure the temperature.
    • The steering wheel rim surface temperature must rise from -20°C to 20 °C within 6 minutes
    • The steering wheel rim surface temperature must be maintained at 38 °C ± 4 °C after 25 minutes
    • At this time, activate all measurement points (1~8)
  3. Steering Wheel Heater Switch
    • Check the circuit continuity between the switch terminals with the steering wheel heater switch ON.
