Test 2A: ACM, Loss Of Ignition Run Only (Active Code)

NOTE: Prior to performing any air bag system test, go to PRETEST INSPECTION & DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE  under DIAGNOSTICS. Perform TEST VER-1: AIR BAG VERIFICATION TEST  after all repairs unless otherwise directed.
  1. Remove fuse No. 5 located in fuse block. See Fig 1 . Turn ignition on, engine off. Measure voltage between ground and ignition switch output side of fuse No. 5 (Black-Orange wire). See WIRING DIAGRAMS  . If voltage is less than 4.5 volts, repair open or low voltage condition in ignition switch output run circuit Black-Orange wire. If voltage is more than 4.5 volts, go to next step.
  2. Turn ignition off. Inspect fuse No. 5. If fuse is open (blown), go to next step. If fuse is okay, reinstall fuse and go to step  5 .
  3. Disable air bag system. See DISABLING SYSTEM  under DISABLING & ACTIVATING AIR BAG SYSTEM. Access and disconnect ACM connector. See AIR BAG CONTROL MODULE (ACM)  under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Measure resistance between ground and ACM connector terminal No. 15 (Tan-Light Green wire). See Fig 2 . If resistance is less than 5 ohms, repair short to ground in Tan-Light Green wire and replace fuse (if necessary). If resistance is more than 5 ohms, go to next step.
  4. Reconnect all previously disconnected connectors and components. Install NEW fuse No. 5. Turn ignition on and connect negative battery cable. Inspect fuse No. 5. If fuse No. 5 is blown, replace ACM and fuse No. 5. If fuse No. 5 did not blow, test is complete.
  5. Disable air bag system. See DISABLING SYSTEM  under DISABLING & ACTIVATING AIR BAG SYSTEM. Access and disconnect ACM connector. See AIR BAG CONTROL MODULE (ACM)  under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Turn ignition on, then reconnect battery. Measure voltage between ground and ACM connector terminal No. 15 (Tan-Light Green wire). See Fig 2 . If voltage is more than 4.5 volts and no other malfunctions are detected, replace ACM. If voltage is less than 4.5 volts, repair open in Tan-Light Green wire.
