Anybody know the airbag resistance needed to bypass one in a 2012 Transit?


Recommended Posts

Hello everybody,

I am a commercial vehicle upfitter in Orlando, FL. I have a customer that wants me to pull out the passenger front seat for more shelving and storage space. I have removed the seat and most of the airbag components from the bottom of the seat but need to know what size resistor I can bypass the airbag that is in the seat with. Anybody have any experience with this. I could do it with the simulator/test tool but that thing runs around $200.00. Thanks for any input.

Jeff, that is a tough question. As per the 2010 Workshop Manual, the resistance in the passenger side, side mount airbag circuit is between 1.7 ohms and 2.78 ohms. Any resistance higher or lower throws a fault code. What I do not know, and what is not shown, is between what terminals in the connector is the resistance reading taken. I do have an idea. Since you seem to have removed the passenger seat and disconnected the air bag (without it going off in your face!!), the air bag warning indicator should be illuminated. Do you have any tool to pull the fault code? If so, the diagnostic chart for the fault code (there are over 100 different codes for air bag issues) might tell us what you need to know.
