Check for continuity between the terminals No. 5 and No. 6.
- There should be continuity with the key in the ignition switch.
- There should be no continuity with the key removed.
If the continuity is not as specified, the ignition key switch is faulty; replace the steering lock (see STEERING LOCK REPLACEMENT ).
