TROUBLESHOOTING TABLE

PROBLEM SOLUTION

When a button on the steering wheel is pressed, the light on the Maestro

module blinks but the radio does not respond.

Ensure the blue 4-pin steering wheel control cable is connected between the

maestro and the radio (the radio will use either the 3.5mm jack or the Blue/

Yellow wire, not both).

Refer to radio’s owners manual to veriﬁe if the radio has this function:

Steering Wheel Control (ON/OFF) : choose ON.

Steering Wheel Control (Custom/Preset): choose Preset

The light on the Maestro is ﬂashing RED ONCE. There is no ﬁrmware on the module; ﬂash the RR module.

MAESTRO RR RESET PROCEDURE:

Turn the key to the OFF position, then disconnect all connectors from the module.

Press and hold the module’s programming button and connect all the connectors back to the module. Wait, the module’s LED will ﬂash RED rapidly (this may

take up to 10 seconds).
