Code 26 (Chart 1) - Open In Steering Column: Description

If an open exists in SIR coil, inflator module or wiring in steering column, resistance between SENSE HIGH input (terminal A7) and SENSE LOW input (terminal A6) increases. This increased resistance causes a larger voltage drop from SENSE HIGH input to SENSE LOW input across 430-ohm resistor in resistor module. Increase in voltage between SENSE HIGH input and SENSE LOW input is sensed by DERM during CONTINUOUS MONITORING tests and Code 26 is set.
