Short To Ground Check

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1992 Ford Probe. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Disconnect PRC control module connector and Variable Assist Power Steering (VAPS) control module connector (if equipped) below driver's seat. Set VOM on 200-k/ohm scale. Measure resistance between Green/Red wire and chassis ground.
  2. If resistance is less than 10 k/ohms, repair short to ground in Green/Red wire between PRC control module and instrument panel. If resistance reading is 10 k/ohms or more, proceed to PINPOINT TEST A4 (on analog instrument panel only.)
