- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the Yaw Rate/Lateral Accelerometer.
- Test for less than 1 Ξ© of resistance between the low reference circuit terminal 5 and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test for an open/high resistance in the low reference circuit. If the circuit tests normal, replace the EBCM.
- Ignition ON, test for 11.8 - 12.2 volts between the 12-volt reference circuit terminal 3 and ground.
- If less than the specified range, test the 12-volt reference circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the EBCM.
- If greater than the specified range, test the 12-volt reference circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the EBCM.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the Steering Angle sensor.
- Ignition ON, test for 0 volts between the communication circuit terminal 5 and ground.
- If greater than the specified value, test the communication circuit for a short to voltage.
- Test for 0 volts between the communication circuit terminal 2 and ground.
- If greater than the specified value, test the communication circuit for a short to voltage.
- Ignition OFF, test for infinite resistance between the communication circuit terminal 5 and ground.
- If not the specified value, test the communication circuit for a short to ground.
- Test for infinite resistance between the communication circuit terminal 2 and ground.
- If not the specified value, test the communication circuit for a short to ground.
- Test for less than 1 Ξ© of resistance between the communication circuit terminals 1 and terminal 5.
- If greater than the specified range, test the communication circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Test for less than 1 Ξ© of resistance between the communication circuit terminals 2 and terminal 2.
- If greater than the specified range, test the communication circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Test for infinite resistance between the communication circuit 5 and the communication circuit 2.
- If not the specified value, test the communication circuits for a short together.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the Yaw Rate/Lateral sensor.

When to See a Mechanic
Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:
- β’ You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- β’ Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- β’ The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- β’ You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- β’ You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
