    I've gotten to the step I'm checking my Air Bag Crash Sensors in my after accident re-build.

    I'm fully aware I will most likely have to buy new ones. I thought it wouldn't hurt to check them.

    I borrowed my brother in laws Multimeter so forgive me if I'm using it wrong.

    After watching some youtube videos. I think all I have to do is probe the sensor's connector in Ohm mode and I should see a reading of the resistance.....if nothing changes the sensor is toast....

    Looking like mine are both toast huh?

    Man, I was really hoping the test involved a hammer and a sacrificial airbag.

    I thought I was going to watch a Video of a Multi Meter being used on Airbags Sensors still attached to airbags and be able to watch them go off.

    There is no check you can do on those with a meter, they are active sensors not passive sensors.

    The only listed check in service info is if you have a code for one of them to swap them and see if the code moves with the sensor.

    For a collision with airbag deployment it says replace them.
