Circuit Test L - Code 34, Low Resistance In Driver-Side Air Bag Circuit

NOTE: Before proceeding, follow air bag service precautions. See SERVICE PRECAUTIONS  . After repairs are performed, recheck AIR BAG warning light for other fault codes. Perform system operation check. See TESTING - SYSTEM OPERATION CHECK  .
  1. INITIAL TEST PROCEDURE  - Deactivate SRS. See COMPLETE SYSTEM DEACTIVATION  under DISABLING & ACTIVATING AIR BAG SYSTEM. Check AIR BAG warning light for codes. See TESTING - SYSTEM OPERATION CHECK  . If AIR BAG warning light indicates Code 34, go to step 2). If AIR BAG warning light does not indicate Code 34, replace driver-side air bag. When repairs are complete, check AIR BAG warning light for codes with Air Bag Simulator(s) (105-00008) still in place of air bag module(s). See TESTING - SYSTEM OPERATION CHECK  . If system checks okay, reactivate SRS.
  2. SHORT IN DRIVER-SIDE AIR BAG CIRCUIT  - Remove driver-side air bag simulator. Disconnect Gray 3-pin connector at base of steering column. Install air bag simulator on vehicle harness side (Gray connector) at base of steering column. Check AIR BAG warning light for codes. See TESTING - SYSTEM OPERATION CHECK  . If AIR BAG warning light indicates Code 34, go to step 3). If AIR BAG warning light does not indicate Code 34, replace clockspring. When repairs are complete, check AIR BAG warning light for codes with Air Bag Simulator(s) (105-00008) still in place of air bag module(s). See TESTING - SYSTEM OPERATION CHECK  . If system checks okay, reactivate SRS.
  3. CHECK FOR SHORT BETWEEN CIRCUITS NO. 614 (GRAY/ORANGE WIRE) & 615 (GRAY/WHITE WIRE)  - Remove air bag simulator from vehicle harness Gray connector at base of steering column. Disconnect diagnostic monitor. See Figure . Remove Red locking wedge from diagnostic monitor Black connector. Check resistance between terminals No. 11 (Gray/Orange wire) and 10 (Gray/White wire) of diagnostic monitor Black connector. See Figure . If resistance is less than one ohm, locate and repair short between circuits No. 614 (Gray/Orange wire) and 615 (Gray/White wire). Insert Red locking wedge into Black connector. Reconnect all disconnected SRS connectors. When repairs are complete, check AIR BAG warning light for codes with Air Bag Simulator(s) (105-00008) still in place of air bag module(s). See TESTING - SYSTEM OPERATION CHECK  . If system checks okay, reactivate SRS. If resistance is more than one ohm, insert Red locking wedge into Black connector. Replace diagnostic monitor. When repairs are complete, check AIR BAG warning light for codes with Air Bag Simulator(s) (105-00008) still in place of air bag module(s). See TESTING - SYSTEM OPERATION CHECK  . If system checks okay, reactivate SRS.
