End to end - control module to socket that fits onto airbag - resistance is negligible 0.1 ohm, which is what I was expecting. That also proves continuity through the clock spring. I also went back and checked the original clock spring which checked out ok. I'm still puzzled by the 1.5 ohm between the two wires which as far as I can see from the circuit diagram shouldn't be there. Incidently the 1.5 ohms is there with the clock spring disconnected as well. I did wonder if that was causing it, but no. I was wary enough to remove both airbags before getting the meter in there.

Can anybody help? I have a 1999 Galaxy Mk1 2.3. I have the dreaded airbag light on. Diagnostics indicate that driver's airbag resistance too high. Reset - error comes back, light still on. Replaced clockspring. Reset error - no change. Replaced driver's airbag. Reset error - no change. So now I'm on to the wiring. Battery disconnected, airbags removed. Continuity from module connector to drivers airbag terminals ok but I notice I'm getting a reading of 1.5 ohms between the two wires. (Pins 10 and 11 on module connector) Diagram indicates there is nothing else in line so as a reference tried checking the connections to the passenger airbag. This gives a reading of 0.5 ohms between the two wires. Does anybody know why I am getting a reading between the two wires on each side and if this is correct? If this is correct can anybody suggest what to try next? Airbag module maybe?
