I need help troubleshooting an SRS code.

The SRS light blinks 5 times. I've cleared it multiple times, only to have it come back on after an hour or so of driving so I think I actually have a fault that needs addressing. Code 5 seems to mean 'air bag assemble resistance too high'

I don't think it's a good idea to test the resistance of the airbag (that's a natural selection test I can pass)

While this has been happening, I had the opportunity to pull the carpets, and I checked the airbag connections running down the drive shaft tunnel and into the controller - all looked tight and clean. I have not pulled the airbag to check it.

How do I determine if the airbag is really the culprit? I don't have a spare airbag.

And the worst part is that my family is afraid to drive it now.

Thanks!
