1. CHECK BETWEEN RELATED LINES AND MAIN WIRING HARNESS  .
   1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
   2. Disconnect the steering sensor connector.
   3. Using a tester, measure the resistance between the steering sensor connector and chassis ground.

      Connector & terminal 

      (i74) No. 2 - Chassis ground:

      (i74) No. 3 - Chassis ground:

   Is the resistance less than 10 Ω?

   Yes  : Go to  2.

   No  : Currently, it is normal.

2. CHECK CONTROL MODULE  .

   With the tester connected, disconnect control module.

   NOTE: Disconnect the central gateway Control Module at the end.

   Connector & terminal 

   (i74) No. 2 - Chassis ground:

   (i74) No. 3 - Chassis ground:

   Did the resistance change to 10 Ω or more?

   Yes  : Replace the control module whose resistance has changed. When the value changed at disconnecting the central gateway Control Module, Go to  3.

   No  : Repair or replace the short circuit of the main wiring harness or related lines between the central gateway Control Module and ECM.

3. CHECK BETWEEN MAIN WIRING HARNESSES  .

   Using a tester, measure the resistance between the central gateway Control Module connector and chassis ground.

   Connector & terminal 

   (i366) No. 7 - Chassis ground:

   (i366) No. 22 - Chassis ground:

   Is the resistance less than 10 Ω?

   Yes  : Repair or replace the short circuit of the main wiring harness or related lines between ECM and central gateway Control Module.

   No  : Replace the central gateway Control Module. Ref. to SECURITY AND LOCKS>GATEWAY Control MODULE .
