      *1 Volume+ Switch *2 Volume- Switch
      *3 Seek+ Switch *4 Seek- Switch
      *5 MODE Switch - -
    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance 

      Tester Connection Switch Condition Specified Condition
      10 (AU1) - 8 (EAU) No switch is pushed 95 to 105 kΩ
      Seek+ switch is pushed Below 2.5 Ω
      Seek- switch is pushed 312.5 to 345.5 Ω
      Volume+ switch is pushed 950 to 1050 Ω
      Volume- switch is pushed 2954.5 to 3265.5 Ω
      9 (AU2) - 8 (EAU) No switch is pushed 95 to 105 kΩ
      MODE switch is pushed Below 2.5 Ω

    NG → See step   5 

    OK: Go to next step 

  2. INSPECT SPIRAL CABLE SUB-ASSEMBLY 
    1. Remove the spiral cable sub-assembly. Refer to REMOVAL .

      WARNING:

      The spiral cable is an important part of the SRS airbag system. Incorrect removal or installation of the spiral cable may prevent the airbag from deploying. Be sure to read the Precaution for the SRS. Refer to PRECAUTION .

    NG → See step   6 

    OK: Go to next step 

  3. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (RADIO RECEIVER ASSEMBLY - SPIRAL CABLE SUB-ASSEMBLY) 
    1. Disconnect the E109 radio receiver assembly connector.
    2. Disconnect the E7 spiral cable sub-assembly connector.
    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance 

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      E109-21 (SW1) - E7-6 (AU1) Always Below 1 Ω
      E109-22 (SW2) - E7-5 (AU2)
      E109-23 (SWG) - E7-4 (EAU)
      E109-21 (SW1) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      E109-22 (SW2) - Body ground
      E109-23 (SWG) - Body ground

    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 STEERING PAD SWITCH ASSEMBLY. Refer to  REMOVAL 
  6. REPLACE SPIRAL CABLE SUB-ASSEMBLY. Refer to  REMOVAL
