      *1 Distance Control Switch - -
    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Switch Condition Specified Condition
      4 (DIST) - 6 (ECC) Distance control switch on Below 2.5 Ω
      4 (DIST) - 6 (ECC) Distance control switch off 1 MΩ or higher

    NG → See step   6 

    OK: Go to next step 

  2. INSPECT SPIRAL WITH SENSOR CABLE SUB-ASSEMBLY 
    1. Remove the spiral with sensor cable sub-assembly. Refer to INSTALLATION - Step 4 .

    2. If there are any defects as follows, replace the spiral with sensor cable sub-assembly with a new one: scratches, cracks, dents or chips in the connector or spiral with sensor cable sub-assembly.
    3. Check the spiral with sensor cable sub-assembly.
      1. Set the spiral with sensor cable sub-assembly to the center position. Refer to REMOVAL .
      2. Rotate the spiral with sensor cable sub-assembly 2.5 times clockwise and measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below. Then rotate the spiral with sensor cable sub-assembly 5 times counterclockwise and measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
        NOTE:

        As the spiral with sensor cable sub-assembly may break, do not rotate the spiral with sensor cable sub-assembly more than the specified amount.

        Standard Resistance

        Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
        4 (DIST) - 11 (DIST) Always Below 1 Ω
        6 (ECC) - 2 (ECC) Always Below 1 Ω
      3. Set the spiral with sensor cable sub-assembly to the center position and rotate the spiral with sensor cable sub-assembly 2.5 times clockwise. Then, while rotating the spiral with sensor cable sub-assembly 5 times counterclockwise, measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

        Standard Resistance

        Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
        4 (DIST) - 11 (DIST) Always Below 1 Ω
        6 (ECC) - 2 (ECC) Always Below 1 Ω

    NG → See step   5 

    OK: Go to next step 

  3. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (SPIRAL WITH SENSOR CABLE SUB-ASSEMBLY - DRIVING SUPPORT ECU AND BODY GROUND) 
    1. Disconnect the G28 spiral with sensor cable sub-assembly connector.
    2. Disconnect the G43 driving support ECU connector.
    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      G28-11 (DIST) - G43-6 (SPSW) Always Below 1 Ω
      G28-2 (ECC) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω
      G28-11 (DIST) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher

    NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK → See step   4 

  4. PROCEED TO NEXT SUSPECTED AREA SHOWN IN PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE. Refer to  PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE 
  5. REPLACE SPIRAL WITH SENSOR CABLE SUB-ASSEMBLY. Refer to  REMOVAL 
  6. REPLACE STEERING PAD SWITCH ASSEMBLY. Refer to  REMOVAL - Step 6
