Standard Resistance:

for LH

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
O25-4 (STW1) - Body ground	Always	10 kΩ or higher
O25-4 (STW1) - O25-1 (-1)	Always	10 kΩ or higher
O25-5 (DPL1) - Body ground	Always	10 kΩ or higher
O25-5 (DPL1) - O25-1 (-1)	Always	10 kΩ or higher

for RH

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
N23-4 (STW2) - Body ground	Always	10 kΩ or higher
N23-4 (STW2) - N23-1 (-2)	Always	10 kΩ or higher
N23-5 (DPL2) - Body ground	Always	10 kΩ or higher
N23-5 (DPL2) - N23-1 (-2)	Always	10 kΩ or higher
