This listing is for a Seat Occupancy Sensor Emulator.
This simulator is designed to replace damaged seat occupancy sensor.
The major function of this item is to reactivate the airbag function for safety purpose without installing a new overpriced OEM seat occupancy sensor. You can also use the simulator to diagnostic airbag problem and bypass the original seat occupancy sensor.
After installing the simulator, on dash SRS airbag faulty warning code can be cleared (first time required a diagnostic computer).
Please note that after installing the simulator, whether or not anyone on the car seat, this simulator will send seat occupancy signal to OBC. So the seat belt has to be fasten at all time to prevent seat belt warning (or you can use a seat belt alarm eliminator clip).
Once an accident occurs, this simulator will activate the airbag just like original sensor (whether or not anyone on the car seat).
