would I get an airbag deployment or just an airbag light in the dashboard.
I was removing the rear seat today and saw this airbag connection here going into the passenger side seat back.

If I just disconnect it and drive around, can I expect anything else than an airbag warning light?
If I use a multimeter and find out the resistance on the seat side of the plug and use a resistor with the same rating on the other side, can I get away with fooling the ECU into thinking that the sensor is there?
Thanks in advance.

warning light, system may not work in event of actual accident. resistor should be good

ok, thanks for the info!

0.2 ohms. Jet Jockey mentioned before that the resistors he used were 0.2 ohms, 1/4 watt but he wasn't 100% sure. How do I find out the watt I need to use on my resistor? This is not something I'm willing to take a chance with, getting a dashboard light is one thing, getting airbagged right in the face is another...
Also, can you buy just the connectors on their own, I'll try to rig my resistor to an actual connector if possible.
Thanks in advance.

if v = 0.224 then yes, connectors usually come with pigtails but are sometimes hard to get

Can I find the V value using the multimeter?
Thanks in advance.

I mean check the voltage getting to the end of that plug and if its approx .224 then its a go!!

ok, thanks
