Checking The Wiring
- Ignition off, wait for 15 seconds.
- Disconnect the connector from the adaptive steering column.
- Disconnect the connector for Supplemental restraint system module (SRS).WARNING:
Under no circumstances use an ohmmeter or other live measuring instrument to take readings on a disconnected non-deployed adaptive steering column. The adaptive steering column could deploy
Check connectors for damage to pins and connections.
Check the connectors. Check for loose connections. Check for contact resistance. Check for oxidation.
Also check other connectors and terminals that connect the wiring between the Supplemental restraint system module (SRS) and the adaptive steering column.
Check the cable. Check for loose connections. Check for an open-circuit. Check for a short-circuit to ground. Check for a short-circuit to supply voltage.
Take readings between:
- Supplemental restraint system module (SRS) terminal #16B/44(44) and the connector to adaptive steering column terminal #1.
- Supplemental restraint system module (SRS) terminal #15B/43(43) and the connector to adaptive steering column terminal #3.
Remedy as necessary.
