Airbag SRS warning light resistor 3R3 ohms (5 pack)

Product Information

It desperately needs to go for an MOT soon as it has expired and is parked on the road. I do not know anyone who would turn a blind eye to the airbag light being on. If your not sure if either pretensioner is functional you can test them with a volt/ohm meter as shown at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dsOM58mBM7Y I have read about resetting the airbag ecu, replacing it, replacing just the pretensioners, replacing it all. I don’t want to just throw money at it until it’s solved as the parts are expensive and also could do with resolving the problem swiftly, so am hoping someone can point me in the right direction to finding what the fault is and getting it working properly. In the US, having airbag warning lights isn’t illegal, although laws vary from state to state. In the UK, however, having the airbag light on or even flashing is an MoT failure, meaning your car can’t legally drive on the right. Also, in a lot of cases, your car will automatically disable the rest of its airbags when any airbag is causing a warning light. Which could be dangerous. So, here’s how to turn off your airbag warning light.

If 1 part of this system is not connected, there is a fault with a connection or the airbag itself, you will get a light on.

I am currently awaiting an opportunity to install my old pretensioner into the replacement seat and then attempt to clear the codes and reset the warning light. I will let you know how I got on. After this there are few options. There is a sensor under the seat to tell if the seat is being sat on, and the side airbag. The side airbag would be obvious if that had gone off.

Unfortunately it’s not a ‘one size fits all’ solution with resistors. They all have different values of resistance (measured in OHMS) and this needs to be specific to match the resistance of the airbag you’re taking out of the circuit. The value generally changes between car models and manufacturers so a little forum hunting will be needed. Don’t worry too much though – someone has always done it before. Where to get the resistor I took it to the dealer to get the crash module reset - this stopped the hazards turning on when I turned the ignition on. They also said the following fault codes were present:

You can test your resistor first to make sure it suits your needs. It should be between 2 and 2.4-2.6 ohms.) I've had a look under the passenger seat but plug all looks connected up and secure. Seat belt hasn't retracted and can still be used. If you use a push-pin, cut it so the two tips of the push-pin are sharp. if you use sewing needles you can just leave them as they are. Once you know what resistance should be in a particular airbag circuit, then you can test the component to see if it is within tolerances. This video will show you step by step instructions on how to make a DIY airbag tester so you can test your airbag without the need for an expensive airbag tool.
