- Check RESUME Switch - Turn ignition off. Unplug 10-pin connector from servo. While pressing RESUME switch, measure resistance between servo harness connector pins No. 5 and 6. Rotate steering wheel through full range while making measurement. If resistance is 2090-2310 ohms, switch is okay. Go to next step. If resistance is not 2090-2310 ohms, replace switch.
- Check Switch Return Circuit For Short - Measure resistance between servo harness connector pins No. 6 and 10. If resistance is less than 10 k/ohms, repair Orange/Yellow wire. If resistance is greater than 10 k/ohms, replace servo.
