Possible Causes

Driver-side air bag circuit high resistance could be caused by poor connection or corrosion in driver-side air bag wiring or clockspring, open circuit or high resistance in wiring harness, open or high resistance in driver-side 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 DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS)  under DIAGNOSTICS. Perform on-demand self-test. See ON-DEMAND SELF-TEST  under DIAGNOSTICS. If DTC C1932 was retrieved during on-demand self-test, fault is hard. Go to next step. If DTC C1932 was not retrieved, fault is intermittent. Go to step  5 .
2. Check driver-side air bag
   
   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. 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 connector, Gray/Orange and Black/Orange wires of RCM connector are shorted together by shorting bar. Do not remove shorting bar.
3. Check driver-side air bag module circuit
   
   Turn ignition switch to OFF position. Access RCM and disconnect harness connector C2041A. See RESTRAINTS CONTROL MODULE (RCM)  under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Disconnect driver-side air bag simulator from harness connector. Zero ohmmeter. Measure resistance between Gray/Orange wire and Gray/White wire on harness side of upper clockspring connector. See WIRING DIAGRAMS  . 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 clockspring connector, connector pins of clockspring connector are shorted together by shorting bar. Do not remove shorting bar.
4. Check clockspring circuit
   
   Disconnect lower clockspring connector. Zero ohmmeter. Measure resistance between Gray/Orange wire and Black/Orange wire on vehicle harness side of lower clockspring harness connector. If resistance is less than one ohm, replace clockspring. See CLOCKSPRING  under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. If resistance is more than one ohm, repair high resistance in appropriate wire. Go to step  6 .
5. Check for intermittent fault
   
   If DTC retrieved in step  1 was an intermittent fault, check for cause of intermittent high resistance in Gray/Orange and Gray/White wires. 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. See DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) IDENTIFICATION  table. DO NOT clear any DTCs until all DTCs have been resolved. If no 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.
