Default Airbag resistor ohm anyone?

Installed a 2015 ct200h steering wheel on my sc300. Horn work perfect mated with a blown 2015 Camry airbag bracket. Can anyone shine some light on the ohm value for the light bag air?

1/4 watt 2 ohm ( +/- 0.2) is the most common for defeating airbags, but I haven't tried it yet on the SC.

1/4 watt 2 ohm confirmed. Airbag light bypassed.
$2.50 on Ebay shipped.

Glad that worked, and thanks for confirming! I've got a pack of them; been meaning to try defeating my removed pass. airbag and maybe the driver's one, as well, since adding the 2-stage adapter for a 3-spoke steering wheel airbag threw an additional error code.

when in doubt use a potentiometer (volume **** thing), move till light goes off, measure resistance with a meter, then order the correct resistor. But having the right value from the start is much easier.
