DTCB1348: Driver-Side Air Bag Module Short To Ground

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.
Measure resistance between upper clockspring high-side circuit (Red wire) and ground. If resistance is infinite, go to next step. If resistance is not infinite, go to step 4.
NOTE: DTC's other than DTC B1348 may be retrieved by scan tool. They are not relevant to this test.
Connect driver-side air bag module. Connect SRSCM connector. Connect negative battery cable. Wait at least 30 seconds. Turn ignition on. Wait at least 30 seconds. Using scan tool, clear DTC's.

See DRIVER-SIDE AIR BAG MODULE under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. If DTC B1348 is not retrieved, system is okay.
Disconnect lower clockspring connector. Measure resistance between clockspring high-side circuit (White wire) and ground. If resistance is not infinite, replace clockspring. See CLOCKSPRING under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. If resistance is infinite, replace wire harness between SRSCM and clockspring.
