 | 
 Yes 
 | 
 Go to the next step. 
 | 
| 
 No 
 | 
 •  Refer to the wiring diagram and verify if there is a common wiring harness between the following terminal. 
 Go to Step 14. 
 | 
||
| 
 7* 
 | 
 VERIFY IF MALFUNCTION CAUSE IS OPEN CIRCUIT IN WIRING HARNESS BETWEEN CLOCK SPRING CONNECTOR AND BODY GROUND 
•  Switch the ignition OFF (LOCK). 
•  Verify that the clock spring connector 3 is disconnected. 
•  Inspect for continuity between the following terminals (vehicle wiring harness side) and body ground. 
 •  Is there continuity? 
 | 
 Yes 
 | 
 Go to the next step. 
 | 
| 
 No 
 | 
 •  Refer to the wiring diagram and verify if there is a common connector between the following terminals and body ground. 
 •  Go to Step 14. 
 | 
||
| 
 8* 
 | 
 VERIFY IF MALFUNCTION CAUSE IS SHORT CIRCUIT TO GROUND IN WIRING HARNESS BETWEEN CLOCK SPRING CONNECTOR AND INDICATOR UNIT
