  3. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (POWER STEERING ECU ASSEMBLY - POWER STEERING MOTOR)


    1. Disconnect the C4 power steering ECU assembly connector.

    2. Disconnect the C1 power steering motor connector.

    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      C1-1 (W) - C4-2 (W) Always Below 1 Ω
      C1-2 (V) - C4-1 (V) Always Below 1 Ω
      C1-3 (U) - C4-3 (U) Always Below 1 Ω
      C1-1 (W) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      C1-2 (V) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      C1-3 (U) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
