Inspection Procedure

NOTE: The vehicle is equipped with an SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) which includes components such as airbags. Before servicing (including removal or installation of parts), be sure to read the precautionary notice for the Supplemental Restraint System.
  1. CHECK STEERING PAD SWITCH CIRCUIT 
    1. Disconnect the R5 receiver connector.
    2. Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connector.
