Test I: LFC 32/DTC B1932 - Driver Air Bag Circuit Resistance Hi

I1:






I2:






I3 - I4:






I4 - I5:






I6:






Normal Operation
The air bag Electronic Crash Sensor (ECS) module monitors the resistance for the driver air bag ignitor by measuring the resistance between pins 1 and 15. If the ECS detects high resistance between these pins, it will store a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) B1932 in memory and flash a Lamp Fault Code (LFC) 32 (or higher priority code if one exists) on the air bag indicator.

Possible Causes
Driver air bag high resistance could be caused by:
^ a poor connection or corrosion in the driver air bag module circuits or the clockspring.
^ an open circuit or high resistance in the clockspring windings.
^ an open circuit or high resistance in the wiring harness.
^ an open circuit or high resistance in the driver air bag module.
