    NG → See step   2 

    OK → See step   8 

  2. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (MULTIPLEX TILT AND TELESCOPIC ECU - TILT AND TELESCOPIC SWITCH) 
    1. Disconnect the H12 multiplex tilt and telescopic ECU connector.
    2. Disconnect the H20 tilt and telescopic switch connector.
    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      H12-5 (VC) - H20-1 (VC) Always Below 1 Ω
      H12-18 (MSW) - H20-3 (MSW)
      H12-5 (VC) - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher
      H12-18 (MSW) - Body ground

    NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK: Go to next step 

  3. CHECK MULTIPLEX TILT AND TELESCOPIC ECU (VC TERMINAL VOLTAGE) 
    1. Reconnect the H12 multiplex tilt and telescopic ECU connector.
