What is the reason for the airbag malfunction display after the car gets flooded?
1 Answers
When a car has been waterlogged and displays an airbag malfunction, the cause is typically a failure in the airbag control module due to water ingress. The solution is as follows: If the airbag control module is faulty, it is necessary to promptly visit an authorized 4S dealership or repair shop to inspect or replace the airbag control module, which will resolve the airbag malfunction display issue. Common problems that may arise in water-damaged vehicles later on include: 1. Moldy interior: The most obvious and superficial issue with water-damaged cars is that the interior is highly prone to mold growth. Interior materials are mostly absorbent, and rainwater contains numerous impurities and bacteria. The enclosed and poorly ventilated cabin space leads to extremely high humidity after flooding, creating an environment conducive to mold growth on the car's interior. 2. Engine damage: If the engine has been flooded, attempting to start the car can cause severe deformation of the connecting rods. Insurance companies often deny claims in such cases. 3. Transmission failure: If the water level rises above the engine compartment, the transmission is highly likely to be flooded. Once water enters the transmission, the vehicle may experience issues such as slipping, shaking, and jerky gear shifts, potentially affecting the transmission's lifespan or even leading to complete transmission failure.
