Test C: Res/ACCEL Switch Is Inoperative

WARNING: Disable air bag system before working around steering column or removing any air bag system component. See AIR BAG RESTRAINT SYSTEMS - VILLAGER article.
  1. Turn ignition switch to OFF position. Disconnect speed control actuator module connector C247. Measure voltage between ground and terminal No. 9 (Blue/Red wire) at speed control actuator module connector C247. See Figure . Press and release RES/ACCEL switch. Voltage at both terminals should be greater than 10 volts with RES/ACCEL switch pressed and zero volts with RES/ACCEL switch released. If voltage is as specified, replace speed control actuator module and retest system operation. If voltage is not as specified, go to next step.
  2. Deactivate air bag system. Remove driver's air bag to access speed control switch connector, in steering wheel pad. See AIR BAG RESTRAINT SYSTEMS - VILLAGER article. Disconnect steering wheel pad speed control switch connector and air bag sliding contact connector C214. Measure resistance between terminal No. 9 (Blue/Red wire) at speed control actuator module connector C247 and terminal No. 4 (component side) at air bag sliding contact. If resistance is 5 ohms or less, replace speed control switch. If resistance is greater than 5 ohms, go to next step.
  3. Measure resistance of Blue/Red wire between terminal No. 9 at speed control actuator module connector C247 and terminal No. 5 at air bag sliding contact connector C214. If resistance is 5 ohms or less, replace air bag sliding contact. If resistance is greater than 5 ohms, repair open in Blue/Red wire. Retest system operation.
