■ Check OCV resistance 

  1. IG "OFF". Disconnect OCV and PCM connector.
  2. Measure resistance between power and signal terminals of OCV. (Component Side)

    Specification:  9.4 ~10.4 [20°C (68°F)]

  3. Is the measured resistance within specification?

    YES 

    • Go to "OCV Actuation Test" as follows.

    NO 

    • Substitute with a known - good OCV and check for proper operation. If the problem is corrected, replace OCV and go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure.
