NOTE: When the bus line is measured, combined resistance of end resistance (120 Ω) in ECM and end resistance (120 Ω) in VDC CONTROL MODULE can be measured. The combined resistance is supposed to be more than 52 Ω and less than 62 Ω with the stabilizing circuit included. When the measured resistance value is 52 Ω or less, main wiring harness or related lines may be shorted, or combined resistance may have changed because resistance other than end resistance is created on the circuit.
  1. CHECK BETWEEN RELATED LINES AND MAIN WIRING HARNESS. 
    1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
    2. Disconnect the steering angle sensor connector.
    3. Using the tester, measure the resistance between terminals.
