  Check connectors - Clean and repair as necessary.
  
  NOTE:
  Probing of the circuit cavities at the ORC Module body harness connectors is only to be done with a approved test lead from the (special tool #10159, Test Leads, Dedicated), test lead 10159-6. Or a comparable test lead to prevent vehicle wiring harness connector damage during diagnostic procedures.
3. Connect the test probes to the appropriate ORC harness connector terminal(s).
4. Measure the resistance of the Seat Belt Buckle Switch Sense circuit between cavity 1 of the Driver Seat Belt Buckle Switch harness connector and the appropriate connector terminal.
5. Measure the resistance of the t Belt Buckle Switch Ground circuit between cavity 2 of the Driver Seat Belt Buckle Switch harness connector and the appropriate connector terminal.
  Is the resistance greater than 1.0 Ohm on any of these circuits?
  
  Yes
  - Repair the Seat Belt Buckle Switch circuits for an open in accordance with the Service Information.
  - Perform the RESTRAINTS SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to RESTRAINTS SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST .
