How do I trick the OBD/DME that the airbag is present with a cup wheel???
Title says it all. Without an airbag since the car has the cup wheel and quick release, the AIRBAG WARNING light always is on. Problem is that it will throw a code when hooked up for state inspection.
IIRC, some have used a transistor, etc..
Just need to figure out how to get the car to believe there is an airbag.
TIA!

n/c free advice that would cost you hundreds elsewhere ...
1.8 ohm resister connected in between the 2 wires to fool the computer.
That's what I had my mechanic do and then use the reset tool to clear the error code. Works like a charm.

Dell, are you thinking ahead, or is someone buying "the beast"?
Radio Shack on the resistor.
Chris, that is so cool that you were able to answer that question. Gotta love Rennlist and all the support.

sadly I am mechanically challenged and my tech did the install.. so no pics...
I can verify that it does work though...
I had an AB light and the dealer said it had to do with the seat belt receptacle etc... so they shut that off permanently... tey said the AB light signal was not coming from the steering wheel so the resistor did its job.
