Does the airbag module need to be replaced if it gets wet?
1 Answers
If the airbag module gets wet and fails to function, it needs to be replaced. Below is relevant information about airbags: Composition: Mainly consists of airbag sensors, collision airbags, and electronic control devices. The driver-side collision airbag is installed in the steering wheel, while the passenger-side collision airbag is typically mounted on the dashboard. Principle: When a collision occurs while the vehicle is in motion, the airbag sensor first receives the impact signal. If the impact reaches the specified intensity, the sensor activates and sends a signal to the electronic controller. Upon receiving the signal, the electronic controller compares it with its stored data. If the conditions for airbag deployment are met, the drive circuit sends an activation signal to the gas generator in the airbag assembly. The gas generator ignites the gas-generating agent upon receiving the signal, producing a large volume of gas. After filtration and cooling, the gas enters the airbag, causing it to rapidly inflate and break through the padding in an extremely short time.
