Does Modifying the Steering Wheel Affect the Airbag?

[OAbigail]

Modifying the steering wheel does not affect the airbag. However, when removing it, the steering wheel must be centered, and the clock spring must be in the central position; otherwise, it may break, causing the airbag warning light to illuminate. The airbag control module is typically located in front of or beneath the gear shift lever. Areas marked with AIRBAG in the vehicle indicate the presence of an airbag. Use a diagnostic tool to check for faults in the airbag system and repair them based on the fault codes. If no faults are detected, the diagnostic tool can directly clear any existing faults. The airbag system is a passive safety protection system that, when used in conjunction with seat belts, provides effective collision protection for occupants. In the event of a car collision, airbags can reduce head injuries by 25% and facial injuries by approximately 80%.
