2002 Taurus SRS code 22

2002 Ford Taurus/ 295k miles

Tbl with safing circuit - shorted to battery

Location - lower left kick panel

Troubleshooting Still in progress.

Caution - SRS is disabled when Air Bag light indicator is on.

there are actually numerous things thaty can be causing code 22 see below
do you need the proper trouble shooting procedures for that code??


The Restraints Control Module (RCM) checks all of the seat side air bag circuits for faults. If the RCM detects one of the following faults on any of the seat side air bag circuits, it will store Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) B2295 in memory and flash either Lamp Fault Code (LFC) 22 or 23 depending on the fault (or higher priority code if one exists) on the air bag indicator.

Fault Conditions
The RCM monitors for the following fault conditions:
Low resistance.
High resistance or circuit open.
Circuit short to voltage.
Circuit short to ground.
Possible Causes
A seat side air bag status fault can be caused by:
Wiring, terminals, or connectors.
A faulty seat side air bag module.
RCM is faulted.

Thanks for information.
The safing sensor was probably triggered when the driver seat was replaced.
Previous SRS code was 33, see AF www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=1080246 (http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=1080246)

If the problem is fixed, it should reset itself!

I hope this $25 donor seat from a 2000 Ford Taurus SE will match with a 2002 SE, the connectors and cloth do.
All connectors mate, but there's 2 signal wires & 1-drivers side airbag missing on this Non-Airbag-Seat.

yellow connector mounted on seat is missing 2-wires.

We need an Airbag seat simulator or load resister to fool the RCM.

Resistor size, 2-3 ohm with a few watts.
Signals -
Seat position sensor signals DSP+/DSP-
Seat belt buckle signals PDF+/PDF-
*Side Airbag drivers SDF+/SDF-

We only want to trick the RCM in having a drivers side airbag that isn't there, YES the SRS is working..

$1k Airbag seat fixed for $26, I should of saved the original Airbag seat for a Jackass video!
