STEP 4. Check clock spring connectors C-202 and C-205
for loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals
pushed back in the connector.
Q: Are clock spring connectors C-202 and C-205 in good

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

GROUP 00E, Harness Connector Inspection

P.00E-2

). The steering remote control switch should

work normally.

STEP 5. Check the clock spring.
Check whether the clock spring is in good condition (Refer to
GROUP 52B

− Driver’s air bag module and clock spring

P.52B-392

).

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
voice control switch connector C-206 (terminal 4) and
clock spring connector C-202 (terminal 1).

• Check the communication lines for open circuit and short

circuit.

Q: Is the wiring harness between steering wheel

voice-control switch connector C-206 (terminal 4) 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-04 for
loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals
pushed back in the connector.
Q: Is combination meter connector C-04 in good

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

GROUP 00E, Harness Connector Inspection

P.00E-2

). The steering remote control switch should

work normally.

STEP 8. Check the wiring harness between combination
meter connector C-04 (terminal 23) and clock spring
connector C-205 (terminal 6).

• Check the communication lines for open circuit and short

circuit.

Q: Is the wiring harness between combination meter

connector C-04 (terminal 23) and clock spring
connector C-205 (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 remote control
switch comes on normally.
Q: Doe the illumination of the steering 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 voice control switch.

CIRCUIT OPERATION

The power supply to the hands free module is pro-
vided by the fusible link (36).

.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)

If the hands free cellular phone system don't work,
power supply and ground system to the hands free
module, or the hands free module itself may be
defective.

.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS

• The wiring harness or connectors may have

loose, corroded, or damaged terminals, or termi-
nals pushed back in the connector

• The hands free module may be defective

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

• MB991223: Harness Set

• MB992006: Extra Fine Probe

STEP 1. Check hands free module connector C-11 for
loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals
pushed back in the connector.
Q: Is hands free module connector C-11 in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 2.
NO : Repair or replace the damaged component (Refer to

GROUP 00E, Harness Connector Inspection

P.00E-2

).

STEP 2. Check the ground circuit to the hands free
module. Measure the resistance at hands free module
connector C-11.
(1) Disconnect hands-free module connector C-11, and

measure at the wiring harness side.

(2) Measure the resistance value between terminal 15 and

ground.

OK: The resistance should be 2 ohms or less.

Q: Is the measured resistance 2 ohms or less?

YES : Go to Step 4.
NO : Go to Step 3.
