Why does the Sportage multifunction steering wheel malfunction?

[Verona]

The malfunction of the Sportage multifunction steering wheel could be due to mechanical failure, functional failure, or electrical circuit failure. Mechanical failure: Many components in the steering wheel are wear-prone parts. During use, wear and tear can lead to a shortened lifespan. It cannot be ruled out that functional failure and uncontrollable quality issues are caused by substandard quality, unreasonable design, or immature manufacturing processes. Electrical circuit failure or connector failure: The corresponding malfunctioning transmission components of the steering wheel have matching circuits and connectors, plugs, etc., for electronic and electrical connections with the central control unit. Unsuitable usage environments can accelerate connector oxidation, wire aging, button contact oxidation, short circuits in connectors, or intermittent disconnections, all of which can lead to malfunction. Solution: Check whether the steering wheel control module is faulty. The multifunction steering wheel buttons are connected via the airbag slip ring circuit. The vehicle's electrical control unit stores corresponding fault codes internally, so it is advisable to promptly visit a 4S shop for appropriate repairs.
