- If resistance is 1400-1600 ohms, measure resistance between terminals No. 17 and 18 at connector 5B of test harness "B2". If resistance is not 1400-1600 ohms, right impact sensor and/or wiring harness is defective. Replace right impact sensor or wiring harness as appropriate. If resistance is 1400-1600 ohms, go to AIR BAG MAIN WIRING HARNESS TEST.
