Air Bag Simulator
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Ford Pickup, 2002 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2002 Ford F450 Super Duty, 2002 Ford Excursion, and 2002 Ford Cab & Chassis. 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-F088/105-R0012, and 418-133/40-009) 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.
