      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      z13-9 (EAU) - F98-4 (EAU) Center Below 1 Ω
      2.5 rotations to the left
      2.5 rotations to the right

      z13-10 (AU2) - F98-5 (AU2) Center Below 1 Ω
      2.5 rotations to the left
      2.5 rotations to the right
    4. After setting the spiral cable with sensor sub-assembly to the center position, rotate the spiral cable with sensor sub-assembly 2.5 times clockwise. Then while rotating the spiral cable with sensor sub-assembly 5 times counterclockwise, measure the resistance as shown in the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      z13-9 (EAU) - F98-4 (EAU) Always Below 1 Ω
      z13-11 (AU1) - F98-6 (AU1) Always Below 1 Ω
      z13-10 (AU2) - F98-5 (AU2) Always Below 1 Ω
      NOTE:
      • The spiral cable with sensor sub-assembly is an important part of the SRS airbag system. Incorrect removal or installation of the spiral cable with sensor sub-assembly may prevent the airbag from deploying. Refer to the information shown in the brackets.
      • As the spiral cable with sensor sub-assembly may break, do not rotate the spiral cable with sensor sub-assembly more than the specified amount.
