Driver air bag high resistance can be caused by:- a poor connection or corrosion in the driver air bag module circuits or the air bag sliding contact.- an open circuit or high resistance in the air bag sliding contact windings.- an open circuit or high resistance in the wiring harness.- an open circuit or high resistance in the driver air bag module.- an RCM internal fault.

Normal resistance across these circuits is between 1.5 ohm and 2.0 ohms. This resistance comes from the air bag itself (approximately 1.0 ohm) and the air bag sliding contacts windings (approximately 0.25 to 0.5 ohm per winding, two windings in all). If the resistance across these two circuits exceeds 4.0 ohms, the air bag diagnostic monitor will flash Code 32. Note: The connectors for the driver side air bag module and the air bag sliding contact have metal spring clips that act as shorting bars. These shorting bars are built into the plastic hardshell connectors. The shorting bars are designed to short Circuits 29 and 31 together when the connectors are not mated. DO NOT attempt to remove the air bag shorting bar and measure the resistance of the air bag. 96 Contour SE Duratec V6 24-valve 2.5L ATX 108,000 mi.

There is a valid LFC of "15" Steve 98 Contour SE Sport 2.5 Duratec ATX The wifey's car 89 Taurus SHO - 246K miles 94 SHO ATX - 190K 1997 F-150 5.4L ATX - The Workhorse 150K.

The battery is newish, maybe a year or two old, and I've got almost 100K miles on it. What does the problem come down to in layman's terms? This looks like it could be a pain to get serviced.
