    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      E10-4 (ADI1) - E10-9 (SG) AUTO switch: ON Below 2.5 Ω
      E10-4 (ADI1) - E10-9 (SG) OFF switch: ON Approx. 329 Ω
      E10-4 (ADI1) - E10-9 (SG) TEMP+ switch: ON Approx. 1000 Ω
      E10-4 (ADI1) - E10-9 (SG) TEMP- switch: ON Approx. 3110 Ω

    NG → See step   2 

    OK → See step   5 

  2. INSPECT STEERING PAD SWITCH ASSEMBLY 
    1. Remove the steering pad switch assembly.
    2. Disconnect the connector from the steering pad switch assembly.

    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard resistance

      Tester Connection (Symbols) Condition Specified Condition
      z2-3 (AC1) - z2-2 (EAC) AUTO switch: ON Below 2.5 Ω
      z2-3 (AC1) - z2-2 (EAC) OFF switch: ON Approx. 329 Ω
      z2-3 (AC1) - z2-2 (EAC) TEMP+ switch: ON Approx. 1000 Ω
      z2-3 (AC1) - z2-2 (EAC) TEMP- switch: ON Approx. 3110 Ω

    NG → See step   6 

    OK: Go to next step 

  3. INSPECT SPIRAL CABLE SUB-ASSEMBLY 
    1. Disconnect the connector from the spiral cable sub-assembly.

    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      D16-10 (AC1) - z2-3 (AC1) Center Below 1 Ω
      D16-10 (AC1) - z2-3 (AC1) 2.5 rotations to the left Below 1 Ω
      D16-10 (AC1) - z2-3 (AC1) 2.5 rotations to the right Below 1 Ω
      D16-9 (EAC) - z2-2 (EAC) Center Below 1 Ω
      D16-9 (EAC) - z2-2 (EAC) 2.5 rotations to the left Below 1 Ω
      D16-9 (EAC) - z2-2 (EAC) 2.5 rotations to the right Below 1 Ω
      NOTE:

      The spiral cable is an important part of the SRS airbag system. Incorrect removal or installation of the spiral cable may prevent the airbag from deploying. Be sure to read the information shown in the brackets below.

      HINT: 

      The spiral cable makes a maximum of approximately 5 rotations.

    NG → See step   7 

    OK: Go to next step 

  4. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (A/C CONTROL ASSEMBLY - SPIRAL CABLE SUB-ASSEMBLY) 
    1. Disconnect the connector from the air conditioning control assembly.

    2. Disconnect the connector from the spiral cable sub-assembly.
    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      E10-4 (ADI1) - D16-10 (AC1) Always Below 1 Ω
      E10-9 (SG) - D16-9 (EAC) Always Below 1 Ω
      E10-4 (ADI1) - D16-10 (AC1) Always 10 kΩ or higher
      E10-9 (SG) - D16-9 (EAC) Always 10 kΩ or higher

    NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK → See step   8
