Connection of breakout box, steering wheel angle sensor module (SAS)
Avoid touching control module connector pins and associated cable harness connectors. There is risk of electrostatic discharge, which could cause damage in the control module. Discharge yourself and the tools to be used by holding the metal part of the tool and at the same time touch a part of the body immediately before starting to work.

General information
Visually check the connectors to ensure that the male and female terminals are not damaged and that the cables for the female halves are properly connected.
The breakout box is designed for easier reading of:
- control module's output and input signals when the control module is connected.
- leads' and components' resistance, when the control module is disconnected.
Using the breakout box reduces the risk of short-circuiting leads and damaging pins in the connectors.

Connecting the breakout box
- Make sure that the ignition is off.

- Unplug the connectors for steering wheel angle sensor (SAS), see: Steering wheel control module Service and Repair
- Connect the adapter 951 1508 Adapter 10-7-5 pin 951 1508 Adapter 10-7-5 pin to the module connector (cable harness side). Connect the breakout box 951 1428 Breakout box 951 1428 Breakout box to the adapter.

Note! Before the functions in the control module can be checked and measurements taken, any removed fuses must first be reinstalled.
