Test Notes

Fault Code 35-Passenger Side Air Bag Circuit Low Resistance or Shorted

Normal Operation

The air bag diagnostic monitor measures the resistance across pin 8 and pin 9 every time the ignition switch is turned to the RUN position. Normal resistance across these circuits is between 0.9 ohms and 1.1 ohms. If the resistance across pins 8 and 9 is less than 0.7 ohms, the monitor will flash a code 35. Note that it does not matter if pin 7 is grounded or not. If low resistance is measured across pins 8 and 9 a diagnostic trouble code 35 will appear.

Possible Causes

Low resistance across pins 8 and 9 can be caused by a short between pins 8 and 9 at the air bag diagnostic monitor.
