  6. 7:  Checks to see if EBCM 5 volt reference signal is within specified limit.
  7. 8:  Checks to see if voltage was above specified voltage.
  8. 9:  Checks to see if resistance of ground circuit is less than 5 ohms.
  9. 10:  Tests for a short to voltage on the 5 volt reference circuit.
  10. 11:  Tests for a short to ground, a high resistance, or an open in the 5 volt reference circuit.
  11. 12:  Tests for a short to voltage in the yaw rate signal circuit.
  12. 13:  Tests for a short to ground, a high resistance, or an open in the yaw rate signal circuit.
  13. 14:  Tests for a high resistance or an open in the ground circuit.
  14. 15:  Checks the EBCM connector for poor connections.
  15. 16:  Checks the yaw/lateral accelerometer sensor connector for poor connections.
