Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
MULTIFUNCTION Steering Wheel, Troubleshooting
The multifunction steering wheel control module communicates only with the steering column electronics control module. Data commands are processed there once more for further communication with subsequent control modules (radio system, multi-function display "MFA" and telephone system).
Multifunction Steering Wheel has On Board Diagnostic (OBD) capabilities.
When performing any service work or Fault Finding, use the Vehicle diagnostic tester under Guided Fault Finding and appropriate SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS information.
