the code shown is indicate the following possibility

1- Faulty Assist Air Bag Module
2-Assist Air Bag Module harness is open or shorted
3- Assist Air Bag Module circuit poor electrical connection Faulty Diagnosis Sensor Unit

Please check and insure that all cable you have remove is fixed back correctly.

There is a procedure in owners manual to turn pass airbag on & off. Also make sure nothing is in seat. Certain light weights will turn it off

It is typically the job of the airbag module to sense when the vehicle is decelerating beyond the normal rate, and to deploy the airbags.
If the module has suffered excessive corrosion, then this would typically mean that there is water ingress into the interior compartment. Have you also checked the condition of the wiring connectors and looms?

Hi there:The Restraints Control Module (RCM / located behind right side of the instrument panel) monitors the resistance of the driver side air bag circuit loop and the air bag module igniter at RCM, if the resistance is greater than 3.6 ohms, the RCM will store diagnostic trouble code B1994 and flash lamp fault code.
About the possible causes, pay attention that a high resistance on the driver side air bag circuit can be caused by:

• - damaged wiring on circuit 1257 (WH/LB).
• - damaged wiring on circuit 1258 (BN/LB)
• - damaged driver side air bag module.
• - damaged RCM.

Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your feedback is important and I`ll appreciate your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about this answer.

Thank you for using FixYa, have a nice day.

Hi there:First suggestion, scanned the module in order to know faut codes, sometimes, replacement battery cause this conditions and just will need delete stored codes there.
Hope this helps.

Get the fault code.

The Supplemental Air Bag Restraint System consists of two basic sub-systems:

• Driver side air bag module (043B13) and passenger side air bag module (044A74).
• Electrical system, including RH primary crash front air bag sensor and bracket (14B004) , LH primary crash front air bag sensor and bracket (14B005) , LH kick panel safing rear air bag sensor and bracket (14B007) and air bag diagnostic monitor (14B056) .

13 Air Bag or Primary Crash Sensor Circuit Shorted to Ground

Inspect air bag sliding contact wiring in steering wheel , driver side air bag module , and passenger side air bag module for damaged, chafed or pinched wires.

Is this for the passenger side bag. Possibly the seat sensor.

there is a colision sensor under the hood. i take it the air bag idiot lite is staying on. the only way to resolve this issue is to have the control module replaced. in some models if the air bag is disabled so is the vehicle.. another govt. safety feature, as you might assume..

you've got to check all the connections and wiring to all of the bags and the module. the module may need to be replaced if the airbags went off. and you'd need to bring it into the dealership to have them program the replacement module.
