Air Bag Simulator (Seats Installed)

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

To remove risk of accidental air bag deployment while diagnostics are performed, Air Bag Simulators (418-F468 and 418-F470) or equivalent are required. See Fig 1 . An air bag simulator is a 2-ohm resistor with appropriate connector and is used to simulate air bag module connection to the system. DO NOT short-circuit air bag module connections with a zero-ohm jumper wire. If zero-ohm jumper is used, a Light Flash Code (LFC) will be displayed.
