How to Repair a Deployed Airbag?

Airbag cushions can be completely reinserted and reused after deployment. Here is a related introduction to car airbags: 1. Airbag: The most expensive component is the airbag control module. In fact, the airbag control module is not single-use. For most vehicle models, the airbag control module can be repaired and reused, and the repair will not affect future usage. 2. Components of an airbag: It consists of a crash sensor, airbag control module, gas generator, and airbag cushion. After a collision, the crash sensor sends a signal to the airbag control module, which then sends a signal to the gas generator. The gas generator instantly produces nitrogen to inflate the airbag, which then quickly deflates through the reserved vents to prevent the driver and passengers from suffocating due to the airbag deployment.
Repairing after airbag deployment is quite complex. As someone who drives frequently, I believe safety must come first. Once an airbag has deployed, it's like a firework—it can't be reused. The entire airbag module needs to be replaced, including the inflator and crash sensors. For repairs, it's essential to go to an authorized repair shop or dealership, where they use professional equipment to diagnose system error codes and reset the control unit. The cost isn't cheap, usually running into thousands of yuan, but when it comes to life-saving equipment, you can't skimp. I recommend not delaying repairs after an accident and testing the warning lights during a post-repair test drive. Regularly inspect your car to avoid impacts and reduce the risk of airbag deployment.
