Component Testing

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Saturn Sky and 2008 Pontiac Solstice. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
IMPORTANT: The cruise control ON/OFF switch must be ON in order to properly measure the resistance of the - SET and the + RES switches.

Steering Wheel Controls Switch - Left

  1. Ignition OFF, remove the inflatable restraint steering wheel module. Refer to Inflatable Restraint Steering Wheel Module Replacement .
  2. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the steering wheel controls switch - left.
  3. Measure the resistance between the supply voltage circuit terminal 4 and the signal circuit terminal 5. Individually activate and hold each cruise control function switch and compare the resistance reading to the values for the On, Off, SET -, RES +, and Cancel switches.
    • If any of the resistance measurements for the On, Off, SET -, RES + and Cancel switches are not within the listed resistance values, replace the steering wheel controls - left.
Function Switch Minimum Resistance Value Maximum Resistance Value
Off O.L. O.L.
On 8.1k Ohms 8.4k Ohms
- SET 1.2k Ohms 1.4k Ohms
+ RES 2.8k Ohms 3.0k Ohms
