Resistors - Service and airbag light related

[sam55]

I've been reading the sticky for how to switch the airbag and SERV light off when you've removed your driver's airbag.

Can someone confirm, is this 4.3K ohm resistor the same as 4.3 ohm (which is what is recommended on cliosport)?

Sorry for the noob question, but I can't find an answer anywhere.

I believe it's a 3.3 ohm, like these -

Thanks - I assumed a slightly higher ohm was needed for the steering wheel but if that works, I'll go for the tried and tested option!

Cheers

I think 3.9 is right for the wheel and 3.3 for pretensioners! Sorry.

You realise technically it should still fail - if it left the factory with an airbag they are meant to be there (and functional ie no warnings) for it to pass.

Hopefully you get a friendly tester, or one that hasn't read the memo!

You can also turn the light off with certain diagnostics equipment, we use a Launch (which a lot of small garages will have as ECP was doing a big push selling them early this year) it allowed me to essentially disable the steering wheel airbag, same as clip.

will removing the bulb pass on its mot does anyone know? has been flagged up so has failed. had it plugged in but is reading rear pretentioners :s thinking of this just so I can take it for retest before the 10 days is up

Pass and advise under current test, not looked into it when it changes this year but afik still the same.
