Checking the Detonation Circuit For Shorting to Ground/B+

Checking the Detonation Circuit For Shorting to Ground/B+







- Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.







Unplug the connector:
- Seat-belt tensioner, right (236P)







Unplug the connector:
- Control module, Airbag (331)
- Connect BOB to the wiring harness.












Measure the resistance. The value should be infinite.
- 15 - Control module, Airbag
- B -

Checking the wiring harness
Jiggle the leads and in-line connectors at several places and in different directions to reveal intermittent breaks and short circuits in the wiring harness. Observe the multimeter, test lamp or diagnostic tool while doing this.

Is the reading correct?

NO - Rectifying the Lead - I

YES - Continue with Checking the Detonation Circuit For Shorting to Ground/B+
