AIR BAG SIMULATOR
To remove risk of accidental air bag deployment while diagnostics are performed, Air Bag Simulators (418-
F088-105-R0012, and 418-133) or equivalent are required. See
Fig. 2
. 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.
