    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

    Standard resistance 

    TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION CHART

    Tester Connection Switch Condition Specified Condition
    1 - 2, 1 - 3 Neutral 10 kΩ or higher
    1 - 3 +/RES 235 to 245 Ω
    1 - 3 -ISET 620 to 640 Ω
    1 - 3 CANCEL 1510 to 1570 Ω
    1 - 3 Main Switch ON Below 1 Ω
    1 - 2 MODE Below 1 Ω

    NG: REPLACE CRUISE CONTROL MAIN SWITCH 

    OK: Go to next step. 

  3. INSPECT SPIRAL CABLE 
    NOTE: The spiral cable is an important part of the SRS airbag system. Incorrect removal or installation of the spiral cable may cause airbag deployment. Be sure to read the article shown in the brackets.

    HINT:

    1. Remove the spiral cable.
    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

    Standard resistance 

    TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION CHART

    Tester Condition Spiral Cable Position Specified Condition
    A-1 - C13-7 Center Below 1 Ω
    2.5 rotations to the left
    2.5 rotations to the right
    A-3 - C13-1 Center Below 1 Ω
    2.5 rotations to the left
    2.5 rotations to the right
    A-4 - C13-2 Center Below 1 Ω
    2.5 rotations to the left
    2.5 rotations to the right

    HINT:

    The spiral cable makes a maximum of approximately 5 rotations.
