With Hard Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC)/Lamp Fault Codes (LFC)

WARNING: DO NOT USE SUBSTITUTE AIR BAG SIMULATORS WHEN WORKING ON THE SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM. USE ONLY THE APPROPRIATE TOOL.FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY.

Most air bag system diagnostic procedures require the use of system deactivation and system reactivation procedures. These procedures require the removal of the driver, passenger or side air bag modules from the vehicle, thereby removing the risk of the air bag deployment while diagnostics are carried out.

Air bag simulators are required to carry out diagnosis and testing of the air bag system. This tool is a 2.5 ohm resistor used to simulate an air bag module connection to the system. It is not acceptable to short-circuit the air bag module connections with a 0 ohm jumper wire. If a 0 ohm jumper wire is used to short-circuit the air bag module connections, an LFC will be displayed.
