Replacement & Installation
Airbag replacement must be handled with care. Recommended basic steps: disconnect the negative battery terminal and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s procedure; wait a minimum of 10 minutes for any residual charge to dissipate or follow the exact waiting period specified by the car maker; remove trim panels and unscrew the module from the dashboard/airbag housing; disconnect electrical connectors and replace with the new unit. Due to the safety-critical nature of airbag systems, professional installation by a qualified technician is strongly advised to ensure correct wiring, mounting, and SRS (airbag) system reset.
Common Causes Of Failure & Inspection
Airbags rarely fail unless deployed, damaged, or exposed to adverse conditions. Typical causes requiring replacement include previous deployment in a collision, water ingress, fire damage, connector or wiring faults, or dashboard damage that affects the module. If the airbag warning light is illuminated on the instrument cluster, the system requires diagnosis by a qualified technician. Regular inspections are recommended, particularly after accidents or signs of interior water damage.
