How does an airbag tester fake the airbag?

The 2 needles can now plug in the airbag connector and the 2-ohm resistor will “fake” the airbag. Now, plug the airbag tester dummy in place of the airbag you want to test, erase the code and restart the vehicle. If the code was showing up because of the airbag, it should not show up again.

What to do if your airbag isn’t working?

The idea here is to bypass the potentially broken airbag circuit by connecting a “fake airbag” (the airbag dummy) in good working condition, erase the code, start the car and watch if the code comes back. If it doesn’t, you know that your airbag is faulty and you need to replace it.

How do you deploy frontal airbags in a car?

To manually deploy these frontal airbags, you need to ‘dig’ until you find the actual metal module that is the chemical airbag inflator and then splice into the two power wires connected to it. To set up the steering wheel bag, I use a deep-socket wrench and unbolt the airbag module from the steering wheel ring.
