Possible Causes

Driver-side air bag high resistance could be caused by poor connection or corrosion in air bag module circuits or clockspring, open circuit or high resistance in clockspring windings, open circuit or high resistance in wiring harness, open or high resistance in air bag module or RCM internal fault.

1. Check for hard or intermittent DTC
   
   Turn ignition switch to OFF position. Connect scan tool to Data Link Connector (DLC). See USING SCAN TOOL  under DIAGNOSTICS. Turn ignition switch to RUN position. Retrieve and record any continuous DTCs. See RETRIEVING FAULT CODES  under DIAGNOSTICS. Perform on-demand self-test. See ON-DEMAND SELF-TEST  under DIAGNOSTICS. If DTC B1932 was retrieved during on-demand self-test, fault is hard. Go to next step. If DTC B1932 was not retrieved, fault is intermittent. Go to step  5 .
2. Check driver-side air bag module
   
   Turn ignition switch to OFF position. Disable air bag system. See DISABLING SYSTEM  under DISABLING & ACTIVATING AIR BAG SYSTEM. Turn ignition switch to RUN position. Perform on-demand self-test. See ON-DEMAND SELF-TEST  under DIAGNOSTICS. If DTC B1932 is retrieved, go to next step. If DTC B1932 is not retrieved, replace driver-side air bag module. Go to step  6 .
   NOTE: By disconnecting RCM harness connector, circuit No. 614 (Gray/Orange wire) and circuit No. 615 (Gray/White wire) are shorted together by shorting bar. Do not remove shorting bar.
3. Check driver-side air bag circuit
   
   Turn ignition switch to OFF position. Access RCM and disconnect harness connector C2005. See RESTRAINTS CONTROL MODULE (RCM)  under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Disconnect driver-side air bag simulator from harness connector. Zero ohmmeter. Measure resistance between Gray/Orange and Gray/White wires on harness side of upper clockspring connector. If resistance is more than one ohm, go to next step. If resistance is less than one ohm, replace RCM. Go to step  6 .
   NOTE: By disconnecting lower clockspring connector, circuit No. 614 (Gray/Orange wire) and circuit No. 615 (Gray/White wire) are shorted together by shorting bar. Do not remove shorting bar.
4. Check clockspring
   
   Disconnect lower clockspring harness connector located at bottom of steering column. Zero ohmmeter. Measure resistance between Gray/Orange and Gray/White wires on vehicle harness side of lower clockspring connector. See WIRING DIAGRAMS  . If resistance is more than one ohm replace clockspring assembly. See CLOCKSPRING  under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Go to step  6 . If resistance is less than one ohm repair high resistance in appropriate wire. Go to step  6 .
5. Check for intermittent fault
   
   Refer to continuous DTCs recorded in step  1 . If DTC retrieved in step  1 was an intermittent fault, check for cause of intermittent high resistance in Gray/Orange wire, Gray/White wire and clockspring. See WIRING DIAGRAMS  . Attempt to recreate fault by flexing wire harness and cycling ignition switch frequently. Repair any intermittent problems found. Go to next step. If DTC retrieved in step  1 was not an intermittent fault, go to next step.
6. Check for additional DTCs
   
   Refer to continuous DTCs recorded in step  1 . If any continuous DTCs were retrieved, go to diagnostic trouble code identification table for direction to appropriate test. DO NOT clear any DTCs until all DTCs have been resolved. See DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) IDENTIFICATION  table. If no continuous DTCs were retrieved, reconnect air bag system. Activate air bag system. See ACTIVATING SYSTEM  under DISABLING & ACTIVATING AIR BAG SYSTEM. Clear all DTCs. See CLEARING FAULT CODES  under DIAGNOSTICS.
