    >>>>>>>I have checked archives and internet and come up with differing ideas, some say it is the clock spring contact behind the wheel and others say it is part of the firing mechanism in the air bag itself.<<<<<<<<<


    YES IT IS. Its one or the other or even a wiring fault back to the Ecu or even the ecu itself.

    The Squib Circuit is the Firing circuit, But that is the Whole circuit. The Diagnostic Machine cannot differentiate between the clockspring being open circuit or the airbag itself being open circuit.

    So now its pointed you in the right direction, you have to do the rest of the diagnostic procedure manually.
