Component Inspection

1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
2. Disconnect force motor angle sensor harness connector.
3. Check resistance between force motor angle sensor connector pin terminals.

   Force motor angle sensor		Condition	Resistance (Approx.)
   Terminal
   3	7	0 deg.C (32 deg.F)	34.8 kOhm
   		25 deg.C (77 deg.F)	10.0 kOhm
   		40 deg.C (140 deg.F)	5.2 kOhm

4. Check continuity between force motor angle sensor connector and ground.
