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.
