Checking Contact Resistance




Checking Contact Resistance







- Expose the lock unit in the driver's door.

- Check the connector for the VGLA control module and the gray lock unit connector. Check for contact resistance and oxidation. See Checking wiring and terminals - Permanent faults

- Ignition off

- Connect the breakout box

- Connect an ohmmeter between terminals #A18(A18) and #A1(A1).

Turn the key in the driver's door to the unlocking position.
The value must be infinite when the lock is unaffected and 0 [ohm] when the key is turned to the unlocking position.
