Instead of saying “P2293_18”, it will put the last 2 digits in the fault description as a “symptom”. It will read something like: “P2293 Air Bag Circuit Short to Battery (Symptom 18)” I would say that you have found why the light is coming on. Your airbag ohms should be under 5 ohms.

Can a DTC be used for a pinpoint test?

If no DTCs are stored, we use the pinpoint test suggested by the diagnosis by symptom chart. The pinpoint test, sometimes called a diagnostic flowchart, is a series of steps designed to achieve a diagnosis through a process of elimination. Following a pinpoint test is kind of like using a GPS.

What should the ohms be on a p2293 air bag?

It will read something like: “P2293 Air Bag Circuit Short to Battery (Symptom 18)” I would say that you have found why the light is coming on. Your airbag ohms should be under 5 ohms. I do not know if reversing the wires in the connector shell would matter. Never replaced a connector shell at the airbag unit myself.
