DTC B0005-1A: Collapsible Steering Column Deployment Control - Circuit resistance below threshold: Action

WARNING: Do not measure the resistance of a deployable device circuit using any other method than that described below. Failure to follow this instruction may result in personal injury.

NOTE:

The deployable device connector has a locking plunger (orange tab) which should only fully lock when the two connectors are securely mated, male to female. If the plunger can move to the locked position easily when not mated (ie: using reasonable pressure), then this indicates that the connector is damaged. Repair the wiring harness as necessary
A shorting bar inside the connector (deployable device side) intentionally creates a short circuit until the wiring harness connector is installed AND the plunger is engaged
The resistance specification of the steering column collapse actuator is 1.70 Ω to 3.28 Ω at a temperature between -40°C and 85°C

Using the Jaguar Land Rover approved diagnostic equipment, check datalogger signal - Deployment Control 17 Resistance (0x5B37). If the resistance is too low, disconnect and reconnect the steering column collapse actuator connector, making sure that the connector plunger is correctly engaged. Clear the Diagnostic Trouble Code(s) and retest
Disconnect the steering column collapse actuator connector and apply light pressure to the connector plunger. If the plunger moves to the engaged position the connector is damaged. Repair the wiring harness as necessary
Refer to the electrical circuit diagrams and check the steering column collapse actuator circuit for short circuit between power and ground. Repair the wiring harness as necessary
Using the Jaguar Land Rover approved diagnostic equipment, clear the Diagnostic Trouble Code(s) and retest. If the fault persists, install a new steering column collapse actuator
