Air Bag Resistor
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1996 Subaru SVX. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Air bag resistor (98299PA040) is used during diagnostics when testing resistances. Air bag resistor has same resistance as air bag modules (3 ohms). Use of resistor during testing provides safety when used in place of air bag module during diagnosis and testing procedures. See Fig 1 .
