Air Bag Simulator

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Ford Econoline. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

An Air Bag Simulator (418-F395 and 418-133) or equivalent is required to perform diagnosis and testing of the air bag system. See Fig 1 . An air bag simulator is a 2-ohm resistor, with appropriate connector, used to simulate an air bag module. DO NOT short-circuit air bag module connections with a zero-ohm jumper wire. If zero-ohm jumper is used, a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will be set.
