- Check the resistance between each connector under the following conditions: Measure the resistance with the roll connector at the center position (the front wheels in straight-ahead position). Turn the roll connector counterclockwise from the center position (with the front wheels in straight-ahead position) until it stops, and then measure the resistance while turning the connector clockwise by approximately 2.5 turns. Preparation tool: Circuit tester Terminal No. Inspection conditions Standard A2 and C5 Always Less than 1 ohms A6 and C1 Always Less than 1 ohms A10 and C10 Always Less than 1 ohms A11 and C9 Always Less than 1 ohms A12 and C8 Always Less than 1 ohms
