Will modifying the steering wheel affect the airbag?
1 Answers
Modifying the steering wheel will not affect the airbag. However, during removal, the steering wheel must be kept in the center position, and the clock spring must also be centered; otherwise, it may break, causing the airbag light to illuminate. The airbag control module is typically located in front of or beneath the gear shift lever. Areas marked with AIRBAG indicate the presence of an airbag. Use a diagnostic tool to scan the airbag system for faults and repair them accordingly. If no faults are detected, the diagnostic tool can directly clear any error codes. 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 collision, airbags can reduce head injuries by 25% and facial injuries by approximately 80%.
