It&#8217;s often thought that airbags are only used to protect the driver and front-seat passenger.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In fact, most bags are designed to protect the driver, front-seat passenger, rear-seat passengers, and occasionally, the driver&#8217;s knee. With all of these people in danger of serious injury in a crash, it&#8217;s important to have a way to check the status of your airbag system when the airbag light comes on.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>The Basics of Airbag Systems<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The airbag system is designed as a supplemental restraint system, designed to provide extra protection for the driver and passenger(s) in the event of a collision. The system is comprised of the control module and the airbag module. The control module is responsible for monitoring and deciding when to deploy the airbag.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The airbag module is responsible for deploying the airbag. This may be done in combination with a seat belt tensioner or a crash sensor to guard against an unbelted passenger. In some cases, the airbag module may also be used to deploy a seat belt tensioner and\/or a crash sensor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The hazard light indicator is used to inform a driver or passenger that there is a problem with the active safety system, perhaps caused by a defective control module or a faulty airbag module.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Common FAQs About Airbag Systems&nbsp;<\/b><\/h2>\n<h3><b>1. Why is My Airbag Light On?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The airbag light indicates that there is a problem with the active safety system, perhaps caused by a defective control module or a faulty airbag module. The airbag light may be on for one of several reasons:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The control module has determined that the airbag is not safe to deploy. This may mean that the airbag module has deployed, that there is a problem with the airbag module, or that there is a problem with the sensing system that prevents the airbags from deploying;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your airbag module needs a reset after experiencing a crash accident, so it turns on as a reminder to replace your system;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The light may have randomly turned on;&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you believe your light is on as a result of a crash, you should seek the service of a professional technician who is certified in airbag deployment and replacement.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>2. Should I Reset My Airbag Module, or Purchase a Used One?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your airbag light is on because your airbag module needs a reset after experiencing a crash, the best thing you can do is take it to a professional technician who is certified in airbag deployment and replacement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, if the light comes on randomly, you may want to reset your airbag module anyways. The best thing to do, however, is to take your car to a professional technician and have them check out the light. If you purchase a used module on the spot, you might have more trouble in your hands than solutions.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>The Bottom Line: Getting Your Airbag Module Checked When the Light Turns On<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It&#8217;s important to have your airbag light checked out by a professional technician who is certified in airbag deployment and replacement. Airbags are an important safety feature in your vehicle, and it&#8217;s important that they work properly in an accident.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>How Can We Help You?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After a vehicular accident, there are a plethora of repairs that need to be done for your car.
