This vehicle has a salvage title. They ran over something and set the airbags off. When I replace the airbags I want to make sure that the sensors do not tell the air bags to deploy. They appear to be okay. Do I need to reset the controller under the instrument panel?
There is no guarantee on that.
Testimonial: "really? that's not very helpful. what keeps these airbags from deploying during installation at the factory? can you please pass this question on to someone more knowledgable about airbag operations and deployment. it seems to me that if the sensors appear to be good, then it is reasonably safe to install successfully. I'm just checking to see if I need to reset the control module or something first."
Since you did not provide any specific information as to the make, model and year I gave the best answer I could. Airbags always made me nervous and I have handled hundreds of them in my dealer service dept. Do you have a factory service manual? If not invest in one, they can be had on eBay for cheap.

Hey there Henry,
Sorry to hear about your accident. Hope everyone is ok.
I worked at a wrecking yard where I pulled hundreds of airbags. I want you to understand, they can be dangerous if handled improperly.
Some warnings before you begin. Take these Seriously!!!
The procedures are pretty simple
Drivers Side:
Passenger side:
All done
One more time, be serious, be careful, be safe.
I hope this helps
Mike

That is the only sensor to trigger the bags. The new module needs to be programmed to the car by the dealer or someone with a scan tool capable of that.

check your fuses, if no then there is a horn locate near the front bumper it probable damage.

You have to disconnect the battery, replace the air bag modules (air bag modules are the things that explode in your face) and the crash sensors and the control unit or module that came with it. Reconnect the battery and the car should start. Hope this is helpful.
