    Is there less than 0.2 V? 

    YES  -Go to step  10.

    NO  -Repair an open or high resistance in the ground wire(s) or poor ground (G501) and/or (G502).

  10. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
  11. Disconnect power seat control unit connector B (40P).
  12. Disconnect the gauge control module 32P connector.
  13. Check for continuity between gauge control module 32P connector terminals No. 18 and No. 19 and power seat control unit connector B (40P) terminals No. 39 and No. 40 respectively.

  • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
  • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
