Can anyone tell me how and why the specifics were determined to using 2.2k ohm .5 watt resistor?
I'm looking to use this method in another vehicle. I swapped seats. The originals had a side airbag. The new ones do not have this airbag but are from the same model vehicle. After installing the new seats the plugs all plug in but there is not yellow plug (airbag) to plug into the harness on the car side. Therefor the vehicle thinks that the seat airbag sensor is not plugged in. and a light on the dash is now displayed.
I was thinking of using this method to trick the sensor into thinking its plugged in. How do I know that I should use 2.2k ohm .5 or a different spec?
