AIRBAG SYSTEM (DIAGNOSTICS)

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

6. AIRBAG RESISTOR

The airbag resistor is used during diagnostics. The airbag resistor has the same resistance as the airbag
module and thus provides safety when used instead of the airbag module. It also makes it possible to finish,
diagnostics in less time.
