The reasons for the high resistance in the driver's side airbag circuit of the Baojun 730 are: 1. Damaged airbag clock spring; 2. Poor connector contact. Taking the 2021 Baojun 730 as an example, it belongs to the MPV category. Its body dimensions are: length 4780mm, width 1780mm, height 1740mm, with a wheelbase of 2750mm, a fuel tank capacity of 52 liters, and a curb weight of 1500kg. The 2021 Baojun 730 is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 147PS, a maximum power of 108kW, and a maximum torque of 250Nm, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.
I've been driving the Baojun 730 for several years and found that high resistance in the driver-side airbag circuit is quite common. Most of the time, it's due to issues at the wiring connections, such as aging wire harnesses near the steering column or loose interfaces. Rust and corrosion are more likely to occur in humid weather, leading to increased resistance. Another possibility is a loose connector on the airbag module, causing poor contact due to long-term vibrations. I once had the airbag light come on, and after inspection, it turned out to be a damaged clock spring causing excessively high resistance. This is no small matter—if the resistance is too high, the airbag may not deploy in a collision, posing a safety risk. I recommend going to a 4S shop as soon as possible to diagnose the specific issue with professional tools, and avoid tampering with it yourself to prevent accidental airbag deployment. During regular maintenance, remember to check the condition of the wire harness and clean the interfaces periodically to prevent rust.
