Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Switch Condition Specified Condition A25- 50 (SFTD) - Body ground Pull "-" continuously
(Down-shift)Below 1 Ω Release 10 kΩ or higher A25-34 (SFTU) - Body ground Pull "+" continuously
(Up-shift)Below 1 Ω Release 10 kΩ or higher TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION*a Front view of wire harness connector
(to ECM)
NG → See step 2
OK → See step 10
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (SPIRAL CABLE - BODY GROUND)
- Disconnect the negative (-) terminal cable from the battery.
- Wait for at least 90 seconds.
- Remove the steering wheel assembly.
- Remove the steering column cover.
- Disconnect the spiral cable connector.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition I28-2 (ECC) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION*a Front view of wire harness connector
(to Spiral Cable Sub-assembly)
NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK: Go to next step
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (SPIRAL CABLE - ECM)

(Down-shift)Below 1 Ω Release 10 kΩ or higher TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION*a Front view of wire harness connector
(to Spiral Cable Sub-assembly)
NG → See step 6
OK: Go to next step
- INSPECT SPIRAL CABLE WITH SENSOR SUB-ASSEMBLY
- Disconnect the steering pad switch connector from the spiral cable sub-assembly.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition z3-7 (ECC) - I28-2 (ECC) Always Below 3 Ω z3-6 (SUP) - I28-14 (SUP) Always Below 3 Ω z3-12 (SDN) - I28-7 (SDN) Always Below 3 Ω z3-7 (ECC) or I28-2 (ECC) - All other terminals Always 10 kΩ or higher z3-6 (SUP) or I28-14 (SUP) - All other terminals Always 10 kΩ or higher z3-12 (SDN) or I28-7 (SDN) - All other terminals Always 10 kΩ or higher TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION*a Component without harness connected

NG → See step 8
OK → See step 12
- INSPECT TRANSMISSION SHIFT SWITCH ASSEMBLY (SHIFT PADDLE SWITCH)
- Disconnect the connector from the transmission shift switch LH and RH.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
TRANSMISSION SHIFT SWITCH LH:Tester Connection Switch Condition Specified Condition C-3 (ECC) - C-2 (SFTD) Pull "-" continuously
(Down-shift)Below 1 Ω Release 10 kΩ or higher C-4 (ECC1) - C-2 (SFTD) Pull "-" continuously
(Down-shift)Below 1 Ω Release 10 kΩ or higher TRANSMISSION SHIFT SWITCH RH:Tester Connection Switch Condition Specified Condition B-3 (SFTU) - B-2 (ECC1) Pull "+" continuously
(Up-shift)Below 1 Ω Release 10 kΩ or higher TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION*a Component without harness connected
(Shift paddle switch LH)*b Component without harness connected
(Shift paddle switch RH)
NG → See step 9
OK: Go to next step
- INSPECT NO. 1 SWITCH WIRE
- Connect the transmission shift switch LH and RH connector.
- Disconnect the No. 1 switch wire from steering pad switch connector.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Switch Condition Specified Condition A-3 (SFTD) - A-7 (ECC) Pull "-" continuously
