    Test point 1 SRS unit connector A (39P) No. 36 - Refer to: SRS Unit Connector for Inputs and Outputs (2017 2018 2019 2020) 
    Test point 2 Body ground

    Is there 1.0 Ω or less?

    YES 

    The SGND wires are OK. Replace the SRS unit - Refer to: SRS Unit Removal and Installation (2017 2018 2019 2020),

    NO
