TEST

  1. Measure the resistance of the NTC thermistor and the heater.

    NTC thermistor resistance (black/red, black): 10.0 kΩ ± 3% (at 23–27 °C)

    Heater resistance (yellow): 1.85 ± 0.2 Ω (at 22 °C ±1 °C)

  2. Measure the temperature.

    • The steering wheel temperature should rise from -20 °C to 20 °C within 6 minutes.

    • The steering wheel temperature should be 38 °C after 25 minutes.
