Test W: Right Side Air Bag Circuit Resistance High (DTC B1998): Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Lincoln LS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Restraints Control Module (RCM) checks right side air bag module circuit for high resistance by monitoring connector C310B, terminals No. 5 (Red/Black wire) and No. 6 (Black/Red wire). If RCM detects resistance greater than 3.6 ohms, it will store Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) B1998 in memory and flash Code 37 on AIR BAG warning light.
