Test 5A - Driver Squib Term Shorted To Battery
NOTE:
Perform TEST VER-1A - VERIFICATION TEST
after all repairs. Each time a connector is disconnected, inspect it to ensure it is in good condition. Always focus on circuit being tested. Dirt, water and corrosion, are most common problems in connectors. Due to manufacturer changes in wire colors, use terminal identification whenever possible.
- Disconnect ACM 4-pin connector. Disconnect driver-side air bag module. Turn ignition on (engine off). Using a voltmeter, check voltage at ACM 4-pin connector terminals No. 3 (Dark Green/Light Blue wire) and No. 4 (Black/Light Blue wire). If voltage is less than 0.5 volt on either circuit, replace ACM. If voltage is more than 0.5 volt on either circuit, go to next step.
- Disconnect clockspring 2-pin connector. Using a voltmeter, check voltage at ACM 4-pin connector terminals No. 3 (Dark Green/Light Blue wire) and No. 4 (Black/Light Blue wire). If voltage is less than 0.5 volt on either circuit, replace clockspring. If voltage is more than 0.5 volt on either circuit, repair short to voltage in Dark Green/Light Blue wire or Black/Light Blue wire.
