TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)

The power supply circuit to the steering wheel audio 
remote control switch, the steering wheel audio 
remote control switch, the combination meter, or the 
clock spring may be defective.

.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS

• Malfunction of steering wheel audio remote con-

trol switch

• Malfunctions of combination meter

• Malfunction of the clock spring

• Damaged harness wires and connectors

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

• MB991223: Harness Set

• MB992006: Extra Fine Probe

STEP 1. Check the combination meter. 
Check whether the combination meter works normally.
Q: Does the combination meter operate normally?

YES : Go to Step 2.
NO :  Diagnose the combination meter. (Refer to 

P.54A-34

.)

STEP 2. Check steering wheel audio remote control switch 
connector C-213 for loose, corroded or damaged 
terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector.
Q: Is steering wheel audio remote control switch 

connector C-213 in good condition?
YES : Go to Step 3.
NO :  Repair or replace the damaged component(s). Refer 

to GROUP 00E, Harness Connector Inspection 

P.00E-2

.

STEP 3. Check the wiring harness between steering wheel 
audio remote control switch connector C-213 (terminal 5) 
and ground.

• Check the ground wire for open circuit .

Q: Is the wiring harness between steering wheel audio 

remote control switch connector C-213 (terminal 5) and 
ground in good condition?
YES : Go to Step 4.
NO :  The wiring harness may be damaged or the 

connector(s) may have loose, corroded or damaged 
terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector. 
Repair the wiring harness as necessary.

STEP 4. Check clock spring connectors C-202 and C-204 
for loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals 
pushed back in the connector.
Q: Are clock spring connectors C-202 and C-204 in good 

condition?
YES : Go to Step 5.
NO :  Repair or replace the damaged component(s). Refer 

to GROUP 00E, Harness Connector Inspection 

P.00E-2

.

STEP 5. Check the clock spring.
Check whether the clock spring is in good condition (Refer to 
GROUP 52B, Air bag module and clock spring 

P.52B-447

).

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : Go to Step 6.
NO :  Replace the clock spring.

STEP 6. Check the wiring harness between steering wheel 
audio remote control switch connector C-213 (terminal 1) 
and clock spring connector C-202 (terminal 1).

• Check the power supply lines for open and short circuit.

Q: Is the wiring harness between steering wheel audio 

remote control switch connector C-213 (terminal 1) and 
clock spring connector C-202 (terminal 1) in good 
condition?
YES : Go to Step 7.
NO :  The wiring harness may be damaged or the 

connector(s) may have loose, corroded or damaged 
terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector. 
Repair the wiring harness as necessary.

STEP 7. Check combination meter connector C-03 for 
loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals 
pushed back in the connector.
Q: Is combination meter connector C-03 in good 

condition?
YES : Go to Step 8.
NO :  Repair or replace the damaged component(s). Refer 

to GROUP 00E, Harness Connector Inspection 

P.00E-2

.

STEP 8. Check the wiring harness between combination 
meter connector C-03 (terminal 23) and clock spring 
connector C-204 (terminal 6).

• Check the power supply lines for open and short circuit.

Q: Is the wiring harness between combination meter 

connector C-03 (terminal 23) and clock spring 
connector C-204 (terminal 6) in good condition?
YES : Go to Step 9.
NO :  The wiring harness may be damaged or the 

connector(s) may have loose, corroded or damaged 
terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector. 
Repair the wiring harness as necessary.

STEP 9. Retest the system
Check whether the illumination of the steering wheel audio 
remote control switch comes on normally.
Q: Doe the illumination of the steering wheel audio remote 

control switch comes on normally?
YES : The trouble can be an intermittent malfunction (Refer 

to GROUP 00, How to use 
Troubleshooting/inspection Service Points, How to 
Cope with Intermittent Malfunction 

P.00-15

).

NO :  Replace the steering wheel audio remote control 

switch.
