passenger airbag N 131

hi,
i'm posting this as new thread as i hv development on another post.

Had heater core changed, airbag light came on, code read :
589-032, passg side air bag ignitor 1 resistance too great.

How do i check ignitor 1 of passg side?
I opened passg panel and checked connecter, ok but dont where its going to next.
Someone also said that coolant from heater core might hv spilt on some conectors that caused the code. But how do i trace all the connectors of the airbag circuit?

thanks

Problably didnt connect the harness to the airbag or the other connector. If both connectors are connected than you need to replace the small harness for the passenger airbag.

It should be the connector at the airbag itsself. I believe the n131 is the passenger side airbag in the dash. There is a small harness ( about a foot or so i believe that goes from the airbag to another connector. That harness usually goes bad and needs to be replaced.
