Connecting the Breakout Box, Steering Wheel Module (Swm)



Special tools: 951 1463, 981 3190, 951 1508

Connecting the breakout box







- Ignition off
- Expose the steering wheel module (SWM) according to Steering Wheel Module (SWM), replacing.

Check that the male and female terminals on the unit connectors are undamaged and secure (cannot be pressed in). Check that the cables to the female terminals are secured to the terminal pins.

Connect adapter 951 1463 to the control module connector (wiring side). Connect the breakout box.

981 3190 to the adapter, steering wheel module (SWM) terminals # A1 - # A22 correspond to # 1 - # 22 on the breakout box. If the contact reel is to be checked, connect adapter 951 1508 to breakout box 981 3190. Contact reel terminals # B1 - # B5 correspond to # 26 - # 30 on the breakout box. The breakout box is designed to facilitate reading off the control module input and output signals when the control module is connected; and the cable and component resistance when the control module is disconnected. The use of a breakout box reduces the risk of accidental short-circuited cables and damage to the connector pins.
