Will airbag work without seat belt ?

If you ever had the question “Will an airbag deploy if the seat belt is not on?” on your mind, I am here to help!

The thing is, seat belts and airbags work together as our restraint systems in the time of a crash or sudden stop. The seat belts in our vehicles serve as primary restraint systems, while the airbags are the supplementary, or secondary, restraint systems. Both are very important for our overall safety on the road. Seat belts work by securing an occupant into his or her seat so as not to project out of it—and possibly out of the vehicle altogether—when a collision occurs. Airbags work to cushion the blow upon impact of an occupant against their vehicle. Airbags mainly protect the head and chest area of the body.

Seat belts and airbags are linked together by a unit in vehicles called the SRS airbag module. The airbag light in a vehicle ties into this system. It may turn on because of an airbag fault, problems with the airbag module or any of the following airbag components: faulty seat belt pretensioners, deployed airbags, faulty airbag clock spring, faulty crash sensors, stored crash data, or problems with the wiring harness.

Some automotive manufacturers program vehicles’ ECUs to make a split second decision whether or not to deploy the airbags to prevent injury to the occupant’s head. Therefore, for some models and automotive manufactures, seat belts certainly are required to be fastened in order for the airbags to operate correctly.

However, in many vehicles the airbags will still deploy whether or not an occupant is fastened by a safety belt. Unfortunately for the occupant, not wearing a seat belt and crashing into an airbag can yield much more serious injuries than if a seat belt were worn.

Airbag Module Reset

Most drivers have experienced the dread of a dead battery. Batteries always seem to die at the worst times, such as on a cold morning before work. Dead batteries are a nuisance to drivers; however, drivers can take steps to promote the longevity of their batteries.

First, drivers should always check their batteries when weather changes. Extreme temperatures damage batteries in different ways. Cold air thickens engine oil, and this oil becomes harder to move and turn. While cold is harmful to the battery, heat will also do damage. Extreme heat causes fluids to vaporize and evaporate. As a result, the internal structure of the battery becomes damaged. Thus, whenever the temperature changes drastically, drivers should be prepared to check on their batteries. In addition, drivers should be sure not to overcharge their batteries. Overcharging can also affect the longevity of your battery. If there is a defect with a part of the charging system’s voltage regulator, charging can occur at a rate that is too high. The result of this is a battery that dies slowly.

Furthermore, there are simple things drivers can do to attempt to promote the life of their batteries. Whenever you charge your battery, check to make sure the electrical system is functioning at the appropriate rate. If you have a battery which needs to be topped off routinely, build these checks into your schedule so you do not forget. You may also consider adding distilled water when it is needed. When it comes time to replace your battery, it should be replaced with one that is rated as high as the original one. If the lights on your vehicle become increasingly dim (headlights, interior lights), you likely need to check your battery. The same goes if the check engine light comes on. Finally, keeping your battery clean increases battery life. Debris and dirt become conductors when they get into the battery, and drain battery power and lead to corrosion, which prevents flow.

Like batteries, airbags are essential to vehicles. If your vehicle requires airbag module reset, you cannot procrastinate fixing it.
