DTC B1346: Driver-Side Air Bag Module Resistance High/Open
- Before proceeding, see AIR BAG SAFETY PRECAUTIONS . Disable air bag system. See DISABLING & ACTIVATING AIR BAG SYSTEM . Remove driver-side air bag module. Disconnect passenger-side air bag module and seat belt pretensioner connectors. Disconnect SRSCM connector. Go to next step.
- Install Load Resistor (0957A-38200) on upper clockspring connector. Measure resistance between driver-side air bag module high-side circuit terminal No. 10 (White wire) and low-side circuit terminal No. 11 (Red wire) at SRSCM connector. See Figure. If resistance is 1.7-2.3 ohms, go to next step. If resistance is not 1.7-2.3 ohms, go to step 4.
- Ensure ignition is off. Remove load resistor from clockspring connector. Reconnect all SRS connectors. Connect negative battery cable. Wait at least 30 seconds. Turn ignition on. Wait at least 30 seconds. Using scan tool, retrieve SIR DTC's. If DTC B1346 is retrieved, replace driver-side air bag module. See DRIVER-SIDE AIR BAG MODULE under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. If DTC B1346 is not retrieved, system is okay.
- Disconnect lower clockspring connector. Install load resistor on harness side of connector. Measure resistance between driver-side air bag module high-side circuit terminal No. 10 (White wire) and low-side circuit terminal No. 11 (Red wire) at SRSCM connector terminals. If resistance is 1.7-2.3 ohms, replace clockspring. See CLOCKSPRING under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. If resistance is not 1.7-2.3 ohms, replace wire harness between SRSCM and clockspring.
