- Reconnect battery positive and negative terminals.
- Connect voltmeter between terminals No. A1 (+) and No. A5 (-) of Test Harness B.
- Turn ignition ON (II) and measure voltage, which should be 9.4 – 14 V.
- Turn ignition OFF and measure resistance between terminals No. A7 and A5, which should be 0.75 – 1.0 ohm.
- Connect voltmeter between terminals No. A7 and No. A5 of Test Harness B. There should be 0.5 V or less:
If voltage is as specified, go to Test 4.
If voltage is more than specified, SRS unit is faulty. Replace the unit.
