- Disconnect the N24 diode connector.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance (Check for Open)
for LH
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition O5-1 - O26-1 Always Below 1 Ω O6-1 - O26-3 Always Below 1 Ω for RH
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition N5-1 - N24-1 Always Below 1 Ω N7-1 - N24-3 Always Below 1 Ω Standard Resistance (Check for Short)
for LH
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition O5-1 - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher O6-1 - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher for RH
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition N5-1 - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher N7-1 - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
Result:
NG
REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
Result:
OK
