Your computer cannot detect an airbag where it should be.
This could mean that it has fired, is missing, or that the connection has been lost.

Air bag code 72 on 2000 F?
Intermittent or Repaired Driver Side Air Bag Circuit High Resistance or Open
An open circuit has an infinate resistance?
There is no such a thing as infinite resistance but it could be a very high resistance.
2000 Ford F-150 air bag code 32?
32 - Driver Side Air Bag Circuit High Resistance or Open
What would happen to circuit if there was no resistance?
a circuit with no resistance or zero resistance can be considered as open circuit in which the current is zero. without resistance the circuit just becomes open ()
What are the approximations of open circuit and short circuit tests?
Firstly turn of the power before this test...Using a resistance or continuity tester you should get the following results:Short circuit: Very low resistance (nearly 0 ohms) or the bell will ring.Open circuit: Very high resistance (Somewhere in the range of Mega ohms) or the bell will not ring.The reason for this is because and open circuit has a gap in it (which has high resistance).The short circuit has wires that are crossed and so has a really low resistance.
Why don't AC input wires to a transformer just short circuit?
The resistance of the winding in the primary of a transformer constitutes a load. As long as there is resistance then there is no short circuit. A short circuit is considered no resistance which develops an instantaneous high current. That is why fuses and breakers are inserted into the circuit to open the high current flow under a short circuit condition.
What is causing the air bag readiness light to start flashing then stay on in a Ford Expedition?
There is a fault some where in the system. Auto Zone will check your codes for FREE. I just don't know if it will pick up the Air bag codes. But since it's FREE you dont have anything to loose but time. Also check this out. Air Bag Codes Here are the codes for Air Bag faults. When first started the dash light will blink the two-digit code before it comes on permently.

How is an open circuit different from a short circuit?
I guess you could call them 'reciprocals' in a sense.-- "Open circuit". . . Has a very high resistance. Nominally infinite.. . . No voltage, no matter how high, is high enough to produce any current through the circuit.. . . Current through it is always zero.. . . Household example: a light switch that's open (labeled OFF in that position).-- "Short Circuit". . . Has a very low resistance. Nominally zero.. . . Any voltage, no matter how small, is enough to produce very high current through the circuit.. . . Household example: toddler stuck a paper-clip into the two holes of the outlet.
What is infinity resistance?
That's an "open circuit". No current flows no matter how high the voltage gets. It doesn't exist in nature.
What is the difference between continuity and resistance check?
Continuity is checking for a completed circuit including a short circuit. Checking resistance would be checking in ohms resistance of a circuit, motor windings or an open circuit.
What is infinite resistance in a circuit?
It isn't. If you're using superposition, you open circuit current sources and short voltage sources; this is because the current source declares the current that will be flowing through that branch. Both current and voltage sources have a finite internal resistance.
When one resistance or load in a series circuit gets defective the circuit becomes?
The circuit will become an open circuit.
