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
   
   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. See DRIVER-SIDE AIR BAG MODULE  under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Go to step  6 .
   NOTE: By disconnecting RCM harness connector, circuits 614 (Gray/Orange wire) and 615 (Gray/White wire) are shorted together by shorting bar. Do not remove shorting bar.
3. Check driver-side air bag circuit
   
   Ensure ignition is off. Access RCM and disconnect harness connector. See RESTRAINTS CONTROL MODULE (RCM)  under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Disconnect driver-side air bag simulator. Zero ohmmeter. Measure resistance between Gray/Orange and Gray/White wires on clockspring side of upper clockspring connector. If resistance is more than 0.5 ohm, go to next step. If resistance is less than 0.5 ohm, replace RCM. Go to step  6 .
4. Check clockspring
   
   Ensure ignition is off. Disconnect lower clockspring connector located at bottom of steering column. Measure resistance between Gray/Orange and Gray/White wires on RCM side of lower clockspring connector. If resistance is more than 0.5 ohm, replace clockspring assembly. See CLOCKSPRING  under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Go to step  6 . If resistance is less than 0.5 ohm, repair Gray/Orange and/or Gray/White wires as necessary. 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 on 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. Prove out system. See PROVE OUT SYSTEM  under DIAGNOSTICS. Clear all DTCs. See CLEARING FAULT CODES  under DIAGNOSTICS.
