I have searched all over to try to find the answer to this. Has anyone installed an aftermarket steering hub kit for a new steering wheel, and got the resistor with it to fool the airbag control circuit? Can anyone please put a ohmmeter on it and tell me what the resistance is? I didn't get the right kit from my friend, it has nothing to do with the airbag. I think its somewhere around 2 or 2.2, but it would be great if someone knew for sure. I'm tired of looking at the SRS light.

 

Its a 2 ohm 1/4 watt resistor. A 3 ohm should work as well.

The SRS light might come on even after the install, because the computer might dectect that the airbag was unplugged. You will need to reset the SRS unit, by following the instructions in the helms.

 

Is that for both 4th and 5th gens?

as long as you DO NOT turn the ignition on with the airbag unplugged, the unit will never detect that it was unplugged. If you forget, and turn the ignition on with the SRS plug unhooked, then yes, the light will trip and will not go out until you do the reset.

yes, along with many other cars... Its pretty standard.

 

thanks... no more light mocking me.

 

Can anyone explain where exactly the resistor goes? please i'm desperate here.

 

It goes right where the airbag normally would plug in. Tricks the computer into thinking it's still there by providing a comparable resistance as the airbag.

 

But there are 6 terminals at the connector that went to the airbag, which terminals does it go in to?

 

The airbag connector in the steering wheel. Not the SRS module

 

ne 1 want to be cool and post the helms' reset procedure for the srs?

You could be even cooler and search for it . . . it's been posted up quite a few times before . . .
