      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Switch Condition Specified Condition
      Y1-3 (CANH) - Y1-2 (CANL) Ignition switch OFF 54 to 69 Ω

    NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE YAW RATE AND DECELERATION SENSOR BRANCH WIRE OR CONNECTOR (CANH, CANL) 

    OK: Go to next step 

  2. CHECK WIRE HARNESS (IG, GND) 
    1. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
