Bypassing Occupancy/Airbag sensor on a D2

[ADU UR quattro]

I just took my car for MOT,and the airbag light was perfect, The car did fail on a track rod end though. placed my order for a new pair.

Good evening, I do not quite understand the manipulation to be performed.

What is the correct schema to put out the light AIRBAG ??

Schema 1 connects the blue wire to the white wire with a resistance.
Schema 2 connects the resistance between the blue wire.


A resistance of 470 Ohms can it work? or is it a resistance of 100 ohms?

Thank's

Sensors normally go open circuit so scheme 1 would be appropriate, but you do not need to connect it back to sensor just unplug and put a resistor in it.

Not sure of resistance you need

Good evening, thank you for your answer, but I do not understand.

Figure 1 is correct for you or not?

Sorry buddy, just saw your PM. I think RanjA8 on here knows what the resistance should be. Might be worth pm'ing him.

My sensors are working fine and i have not had any problems. airbag ecu expects certain resistance range for occupied and for unoccupied, if the resistance is out of range it will throw airbag light. now if the sensor ids faulty you disconnect the sensor and put a resistor in it's place you can go for a resistance either for occupied or unoccupied, i would suggest to go for occupied. The sensor is there to prevent passenger airbags from going off if there is nobody in passenger seat to reduce cost of repair after accident. but since cars are old and low value by now most accidents that causes airbags to go off will not be economical to repair anyway so i suggest you set resistor to show it occupied and passenger airbag to go off in accident even if there is nobody in there.
I do not know values for occupied or unoccupied but you can experiment yourself with variable resistor if you have vagcom, vcds or similar

@ainarssems :

Yes, I know all that, so I want to connect a resistor but I do not know how.

Thank you for your response, I hope it will turn off the light and the sensor AIRBAG be occupied.
