Inspection

Measure a resistance of NTC and Heated pad.

–	NTC resistance - 10.0 kΩ ± 3 % (25 °C)

–	Heated pad resistance - 1.41 ~ 1.81 Ω (22°C)

Measure a temperature.

–	The temperature of wheel surface grip must rise from -20°C to 20°C within 6 minute.

–	The temperature of wheel surface grip must keep 38°C ± 4°C after 25 minute .

–	1 to 8 All measuring points.

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

Installation

1.	To install, reverse the removal procedure.
