- Steering Wheel Scroll Wheel Left Circuit Open
DTC B3649 5A
- Steering Wheel Scroll Wheel Left Stuck
DTC B3649 08
- Steering Wheel Scroll Wheel Left Circuit Resistance Range/Performance
Diagnostic Fault Information
Circuit/System Description
The steering column control module (SCCM) supplies voltage to the audio steering wheel control multiple momentary contact switches and monitors the return signal. Each switch is associated to a set resistance value, when pressed a specific voltage drop occurs through a series of resistors unique to that switch. The SCCM identifies the selection, then sends a serial data message that is received by the component controlled, activating the feature.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The ignition is ON.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
B3649 04
The SCCM detects that the left scroll wheel circuit is open.
B3649 5A
The SCCM detects that the left scroll wheel is stuck for greater than 60 seconds.
B3649 08
The SCCM detects that the left scroll wheel resistance is out of range.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The SCCM will ignore the switch command.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
* A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present.
* A history DTC clears when the module ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold, without a repeat of the malfunction.

Circuit/System Verification
Ignition ON, observe the scan tool Left Steering Remote Control Status parameter while pressing and releasing the scroll wheel switch. The reading should be Menu Up and Menu Down identifying when the switch pressed, and No Key Pressed when the switch is released.
Circuit/System Testing
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the left steering wheel control switch.
2. Ignition OFF, test for less than 2.0 ohms between the low reference circuit terminal 2 and ground.
• If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the SCCM.
3. Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 volts between the signal circuit terminal 1 and ground.
• If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the SCCM.
• If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the SCCM.
4. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the left steering wheel control switch.
Component Testing
1. Disconnect the harness connector at the left steering wheel control switch.
2. Connect a DMM between terminals 1 and 2 of the left steering wheel control switch.
• If any of the resistance measurements for the individual switches are not within the specified resistance values, replace the left steering wheel control switch.
Repair Instructions
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification (Verification Tests) after completing the diagnostic procedure.
