B1425-2A-REMOTE RADIO SWITCH INPUT - STUCK
For a complete wiring diagram, refer to appropriate SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article .
THEORY OF OPERATION
The Remote Radio Switches are hardwired to the Right Steering Wheel Control Switch (Speed Control Switch).
The Right Steering Wheel Control Switch (Speed Control Switch) transmits Remote Radio Switch information
to the Steering Angle Sensor (SAS) (integral to the Steering Column Control Module) via the LIN Bus. The
SAS then converts this data to a CAN Bus signal and broadcasts the message to the corresponding module on
the bus.
WHEN MONITORED
Continuously with the ignition on.
SET CONDITION
The Steering Column Control Module senses that the Remote Radio Switches are in the Set position for greater
than 600 seconds.
POSSIBLE CAUSES
Possible Causes
STUCK REMOTE RADIO SWITCH
DIAGNOSTIC TEST
1. CHECK FOR AN ACTIVE DTC
NOTE: Before proceeding with the diagnostic procedure, verify that the
connections are properly made, seated and verify proper pin terminal
tension. A loose connection at any of the SCCM connectors may cause the
DTC to set.
1. Turn the ignition on.

2. Press each Remote Radio Switch twice.
3. With the scan tool, read DTCs.
Does the scan tool display this DTC as active?
Yes

Steering Wheel Control Switch harness connector and the Right Steering
Wheel Control Switch (Speed Control Switch) harness connector. Repair
any damaged wires, connectors, and open/spread terminals. If harness is
OK, proceed with test.
Replace the Left Steering Wheel Control Switch in accordance with the Service Information. Refer
to SWITCH, EVIC CONTROL, REMOVAL .
No
Test complete, the condition or conditions that originally set this DTC are not present at this time.
