VW Lupo - Check clock spring SRS reference resistor - mikejharvey

Hi, do any of you know the value of a reference resistor I may use across the clock spring of a VW lupo to clear the fault codes whilst checking the system? Or do VW not use a reference resistor, and what method do they use? I'm mindful of my health and not using an ohmeter!! Most grateful, regards Mike.

A dummy resistor would be 2.7 -3.0 ohms.What fault do you have?

Hi, I am setting up a fault for our students to find, as I work at a college. We have set up a common fault of a broken clock spring, and the usual procedure it to remove the airbag and replace it with a reference resistor to clear the code and confirm the fault. I have used resistors between 2 and 4 ohms in the past, as you suggest, but just wondered what was correct for this car, a 52 plate 1.4. I really appreciate your reply, thanks, as I could try dozens before I get the right one! regards, Mike
