   1. If resistance measurement is less than or equal to 100 Ω, the signal line #417 is shorted to the return line #952 or battery ground. Repair short. Refer to "22.3.15 Verify Repairs" .
   2. If resistance measurement on both readings is greater than 100 Ω or open, refer to "22.3.9 Check for Signal Open" .
