Light comes on because the control module is looking for the air bag which is not equipped on the steering wheel I just installed. Is there a way to mimic the signal? I tried to jump the brushes on the column but it just blew the fuse. The simple method is to remove the bulb but I would like to retain the indication that confirms the Seat Restraint system is working.

I can see the light at the end of the tunnel Group: Members Posts: 2,707 Joined: 3-February 03 From: Massachusetts Member No.: 224 Region Association: None |
The airbag control module looks at the resistance of the circuit. A resistor somewhere between 2.2 and 4.7 ohms (not K ohms) across the wires instead of the airbag ignitor will prolly keep the light off. You will most likely need to reset the light with a scan tool as most airbag systems do not reset by themselves when the problem goes away. And don't try to measure the resistance of your airbag with a DMM, the current flow through the meter may be enough to set off the airbag.
