Will changing the steering wheel affect the airbag?

[AndrewAnn]

Changing the steering wheel will not affect the airbag. However, when removing it, the steering wheel must be placed in the center position, and the clock spring must also be in the center position; otherwise, it may break, causing the airbag warning light to illuminate. The airbag control module is usually located in front of or beneath the gear lever. Below is some relevant information about the airbag system: 1. The airbag system is a passive safety protection system (see vehicle safety performance). When used in conjunction with seat belts, it provides effective collision protection for occupants. In the event of a car collision, the airbag can reduce head injuries by 25% and facial injuries by approximately 80%. 2. The airbag system mainly consists of airbag sensors, collision airbags, and an electronic control unit. The driver-side collision airbag is installed in the steering wheel, while the passenger-side collision airbag is typically mounted on the dashboard. Airbag sensors are installed on the left, right, and center of the cabin partition; the central airbag sensor and the airbag system are integrated with the electronic control unit. The airbag assembly primarily includes the airbag, gas generator, and igniter. The electronic control unit is used for data collection and processing, diagnosing the reliability of the airbag, ensuring that the ignition signal is promptly issued when preset values are reached, and timing the ignition to ensure the gas generator has sufficient driving current.
