  2. 2
    Remove the knee protector, and disconnect the clock spring connectors (Orange and blue).
  3. 3
    Disconnect all D-sensor (CNT, LH and RH) connectors, and measure the resistance of each sensor.
    Resistance: Approx. 1.2 kΩ

  4. 4
    If not as specified, replace the sensor, then go to Step 3.
  5. 5
    If correct, go to Step 2.

Step 2

  1. 1
    Reconnect all D-sensor connectors.
    Diagnostic module connector terminals being measured. Labels: (BLACK), (GRY), 2L (BR/B), 1A (BR/R), 1C (BR/G); multimeter shown.

  2. 2
    Disconnect the diagnostic module connector.
  3. 3
    Measure the resistance between the following terminal-wires of the diagnostic module connector and a body ground.

Step 2 Resistance check

1C (BR/G)
ResistanceApprox. 1.2 kΩ
ActionNext, check terminal-wire 1A (BR/R)
1C (BR/G)
ResistanceOther 1.2 kΩ
ActionReplace wire harness, then go to Step 3
1A (BR/R)
ResistanceApprox. 1.2 kΩ
ActionNext, check terminal-wire 2L (BR/B)
1A (BR/R)
ResistanceOther 1.2 kΩ
ActionReplace wire harness, then go to Step 3
2L (BR/B)
ResistanceApprox. 1.2 kΩ
ActionGo to Step 3
2L (BR/B)
ResistanceOther 1.2 kΩ
ActionReplace wire harness, then go to Step 3

Step 3

  1. 1
    Reconnect the diagnostic module connector.
  2. 2
    Reconnect the clock spring connector.
  3. 3
    Reconnect the negative battery cable.
  4. 4
    Turn the ignition switch ON, and monitor the warning lamp operation.
