I know that on the IX and the VIII's that there was a solution for getting rid of the airbag light such as getting a certain steering wheel hub etc. Has anyone installed an aftermarket steering wheel yet on their X and eliminated the airbag light? A writeup or solution would be most helpful. Thanks in advance.

Maybe try ohming out your airbag and then getting a resistor that matches to put in the circuit. Cheap fix if it does in fact work.

That's a pretty good idea. Romeo, if you can get access to mitchell shop key 5, the airbag resistance should be listed under airbag->troubleshooting&diagnostics->tables

Whats Mitchell shop key?

boostin20

Since mitchell manuals stopped making printed service manuals, they created an online system that shows maintenance, repair, and troubleshooting for every vehicle made. The full name is Mitchell Shop Key 5. I'd like to help you out by looking it up for you, but I won't be back in MD to get to the shop for another month.

I have the Works-Bell steering boss on my Evo 10 and it comes with the SRS light resistor

that SRS resistor should work on all the airbag sensor , no?

Where did you order it from? Was it a Evo X specific one or Mitsubishi genral one?

These will be available by vendors pretty soon since the Evo 10 spec Works-Bell hub/boss were on back order. Check your local vendors for ETA

What vendor are you talking about? The adapter and resistor would make it a lot easier.

MR Dan, where did you remount your AWC?! and cruise control is no more huh..

You can use the X MR , AWC button $28 at the dealer.
And you can place it next to the ASC button on the dash board. OR you can do it where is the shifter. Actually that is easier since its just plug and play there.
You will see one wire harness with the plug connected face down on the shifter base, Whit the white plug. . That is your AWC connection to your MR button.
Connect it and use it .

Found this thread while searching for answers for my car. MOMO makes a hub adapter with SRS light delete. It is part number 6116.....I have one for cheap if you need it........bought the wrong one for an 8.

how many airbag connectors are there?

typical airbag resistance is 2.0 to 2.2 ohms. for EACH airbag connector. this also works for SRS side impact and curtain bags...

simple run to radioshack or your local electronics hobby shop you can rig up one yourself.. DO NOT STICK an ohmmeter to your factory airbag leads.. it might go off due to the voltage spike in your ohmmeter.
