- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K36 SDM.
- Test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit terminal 38 and ground.
- If not the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to ground.
- Ignition ON, test for less than 1V between the signal circuit terminal 38 and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage.
- Ignition OFF, test for infinite resistance between the low reference circuit terminal 36 and ground.
- If not the specified value, test the low reference circuit for a short to ground.
- Ignition ON, test for less than 1V between the low reference circuit terminal 36 and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for a short to voltage.
- Test for 1.8-5.5 M Ξ© between signal circuit terminal 38 and low reference circuit terminal 36
- If less than the specified range, replace the B59 center front impact sensor
- If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit and low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuits test normal, replace the B59?center front impact sensor
