Steering Pad Switch Circuit





AUDIO / VIDEO: AUDIO AND VISUAL SYSTEM: Steering Pad Switch Circuit
- Steering Pad Switch Circuit

DESCRIPTION

This circuit sends an operation signal from the steering pad switch to the radio receiver assembly.

If there is an open in the circuit, the audio system cannot be operated using the steering pad switch.

If there is a short in the circuit, the same condition as when a switch is continuously depressed occurs.

Therefore, the radio receiver assembly cannot be operated using the steering pad switch, and also the radio receiver assembly itself cannot function.
