The Airbag system, also known as a supplementary restraint system (SRS) or supplemental inflatable restraint (SIR), is a safety system on modern automobiles that helps to protect the driver and most passengers in case of a collision.

The SRS system has numerous sensors, wiring and components, including seat belt pretensioners and the airbags themselves which for the most part are maintenance free.  While failure of these sensors, components and the wiring is uncommon an illuminated “SRS” or “Airbag” light means a fault has been detected by the onboard computer system and as such the Airbag will not deploy properly or at all in the case of a collision.

If your vehicle’s “SRS” or “Airbag” light is on have your Airbag System diagnosed immediately to assure all passenger safety features function properly.

 

Common Airbag Faults:

  1. Faulty crash sensors – sometimes water ingress or corrosion.
  2. High resistance joints – this is especially common when we refer to the pretensioners.  The multi plugs under seats can be very sensitive due to the resistence involved.  Slight movement back and fourth of the seat can cause the plugs to break down.  We can repair this.
  3. Faulty clock spring or ignitors – this is basically a copper ring at the rear of the steering wheel and can break over time.
  4. Faulty airbags – the airbag can become open circuit or the resistance can break down.
  5. ECU Crash Data – in event of an accident or due to a faulty unit the brain can fail which may need replaced or simply the crash data reset.  We carry out all these functions.
