  1. Disconnect the transponder key ECU assembly.
  2. Measure the resistance between the ECU terminal 9 and DLC connector terminal 7.
  3. Measure the resistance between the ECU terminal 9 and body ground.

Is the resistance measured greater than or less than the specified value?

ECU terminal 9 to DLC = less than 1 ohm

ECU terminal 9 to body ground = 10 ohms or greater
