Expected Result:

The resistance should be approximately 11 Ohms.

Results:

  • OK - The resistance is approximately 11 Ohms.

    Repair: There is more than one problem. Start by troubleshooting one of the fault indicators. See Troubleshooting, "Parking Brake Indicator Is Flashing" or Troubleshooting, "Armrest Indicator Is Flashing".
