I can check at the clockspring, and measured that there is continuity across the two pins for the airbag circuit (pins 3 and 4), but I don't know what that tells me. I can't check the airbag itself since there's a very good chance of setting it off. The lower resistance limit means that there's a short somewhere, but where? I've ruled out the harness. With the airbag disconnected, there's infinite resistance, hence the upper limit exceeded. This makes sense, since the airbag control module is checking the resistance across the airbag circuit. If I disconnect the airbag and clear/recheck the fault codes, I get the same code with different sub code - now it's the upper limit that's exceeded. I also checked to make sure that there wasn't a short in the harness or the connectors anywhere, and reseated the 4-pin harness going into the clockspring.

I've tried all the usual remedies, including clearing the code, disconnecting/reconnecting the battery, and reseating the harness both at the clockspring and the airbag itself. So im going to swap them over and re run tests, but ive got some other bits come up in the messuring blocks, but i feel i dont have half the sensors that say too high possibly why it dosnt throw a celġ.My airbag light decided to come on recently, and produces the following code:Ġ0588 - Airbag Igniter Driver Side (N95) i got a slightly diffrent fault code but same base code as followsĠ1217 - Side Airbag Igniter Driver Side (N199)ģ2-10 - Resistance too High - Intermittent

Make sure you get the exact replacement part as some are threaded and some bolt throughĬrash sensor.jpgthats great cheers. Unbolting the seat made it easier.Start with the top trim and work your way down.undo the bolt that holds the seat belt tensioner.the sensor is behind the tensioner and was in sponges that were soaking wet, needless to say I discarded them. You will have to remove all the trim from top to bottom it only clips on, its a pain at first but easier as you progress, use a wide bladed tool to ease the trim off. Audi A4 2003 Sport.Time to replace 1 hr.The sensor is at the bottom of the door pillar (inside sill) I changed mine over from one side to the other and re-run Vagcom it shown the fault had was now on the opposite side so that told me it was a faulty sensor.
