  1. Install a scan tool.
  2. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
  3. Attempt to adjust the Gap Switch parameters up and down.
  4. With a scan tool, observe the ACC Gap Switch Voltage parameter in the BCM data list.

Does the scan tool display voltage values at or near the specified values for the gap switch up, down, and inactive states?

Up-3.1 V

Down-1.5 V

Inactive-0 V

  1. Turn OFF the ignition.
  2. Disconnect the body control module (BCM) connector C2.
  3. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
  4. Measure the voltage between the gap adjustment switch signal circuit and a good ground while momentarily pressing the gap switch up position.

Does the voltage measure near the specified value?

3.1 V

Caution: When performing service on or near the SIR components or the SIR wiring, the SIR system must be disabled. Refer to SIR Disabling and Enabling . Failure to observe the correct procedure could cause deployment of the SIR components, personal injury, or unnecessary SIR system repairs.

  1. Turn OFF the ignition.
  2. Disconnect the gap switch.
  3. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
  4. Connect a test light between the gap switch supply voltage circuit and a good ground.

Does the test light illuminate?
