and it's not going to decide just to go off while i'm driving is it?

first - do you feel comfortable disarming and removing the airbag??

if so, disconnect the battery gound cable. remove airbag. attach jumper wire on airbag terminals on clockspring(NOT on the airbag) the jumper goes from pin1(GY/O) to pin3 (PK).

reconnect battery ground and check for codes. do you get code 5??


ALWAYS hold the airbag pointing away from you. just incase it deploys.
