Re: New quick release steering wheel!

Hi,

Brown, White, Gold, Gold. means 1.9ohm +/- 5%

19 * 0.1

It seems that a resistor of 2.2ohm 1W can be used for almost Japanese cars as a airbag canceler. The 1.9ohm is not that different from 2.2ohm.
As for the resistance values, I've checked for some recent SUBARU cars on the internet, but I have not found for the SVX.
To make the airbag controller think the inflator is still present, the resistor pretends to be it.
You'll need to know the resistance of the original steering wheel inflator to know the exact value, but if you give it enough power it might work (airbag fires). When checking a genuine inflator, use a DMM to measure with a weak current.

By the way, why don't you remove the airbag lamp from the meter? Does inspector check that the lamp turns on once and then turns off during the vehicle inspection?

I didn't opt for the optional airbag, so my SVX doesn't have one. Of course, there are no airbag lights either.
