Steering Wheel Controls System
The steering wheel controls consist of the following components:- The steering wheel radio control switches
- The SIR coil assembly
- The radio
Steering Wheel Radio Control Switches
The steering wheel control switches control the following components:
- The radio power
- The volume
- The station frequency
These switches are a ladder network consisting of these components:
- The switches
- A series of resistors
The ladder network is arranged so that each switch has a different resistance. The different resistances allow a different voltage output to the radio for each switch pressed.
SIR Coil Assembly
The SIR coil assembly contains four wires. The wires are used by the steering wheel controls. The assembly allows voltages to be sent from the steering wheel switches to the radio while the steering wheel is being turned.
