NOTE: For 1.3L, blower motor resistor must be disconnected, HEATER fuse must be removed, and blower motor switch must be in position "1" when testing ACS signal.
  1. Turn ignition off. Install BOB, leaving ECA disconnected. Measure resistance between switch BOB test pin and ground. Cycle switch. If resistance is greater than 10,000 ohms with switch open and less than 5 ohms when switch is closed, switch is okay; go to step 4). If resistance is not greater than 10,000 ohms with switch open, or greater than 5 ohms when switch is closed, go to next step.
  2. Turn ignition off. Disconnect switch. Connect ohmmeter between switch terminals on 2-pin switches, or between ground and switch ECA terminal on multi-pin or one-pin switches. Cycle switch. If resistance is not greater than 10,000 ohms with switch open, or is greater than 5 ohms when switch is closed, replace switch. If resistance is greater than 10,000 ohms with switch open and less than 5 ohms when switch is closed, switch is okay; go to next step.
  3. Turn ignition off. Install BOB, leaving ECA disconnected. Measure resistance between BOB pin for suspected switch and BOB pins 26, 37, 57, and 60. If any measurement is less than 10,000, repair shorted wire in question. If all measurements are greater than 10,000 ohms, go to next step.
  4. Turn ignition off. Install BOB, leaving ECA disconnected. Measure resistance between BOB pin for suspected switch and switch connector. If resistance is greater than 5 ohms, repair wire in question. If sent here from SWITCH MONITOR TEST in QUICK TESTS, replace ECA; otherwise, return to QUICK TESTS.
