OK, no problem. The 32 is Driver Side Air Bag Circuit High Resistance or Open. I suggest you get a detailed manual anytime you work on the air bag system since you can set it off when working on it. Below are the possible causes.
Possible Causes
Excessive resistance across Pins 10 and 11 can be caused by:
A poor connection where the air bag sliding contact connects into the main wiring . The air bag sliding contact connector at the base of the steering column may have excessive resistance between the male and female terminals in the connector.
An open circuit or high resistance in the windings inside the air bag sliding contact .
An open circuit or high resistance in the wiring harness in either Circuit 614 (GY/O) or Circuit 615 (GY/W).
An open circuit or high resistance in the driver side air bag module . DO NOT attempt a direct resistance measurement of the driver side air bag module . Follow the diagnostic procedures to determine if the resistance is higher than normal.

WOW...that sounds like a job for the pro's not the DIYer. Thanks though, that somewhat gives me an idea of where/what to look at. I guess the real concern should be whether the darn thing can go off unexpectedly (which i highly doub is possible).
