Listed below are the top 5 questions and answers our technicians hear when a vehicle's airbag light is on.
1. Why is My Airbag Light On?
If you know your vehicle was in an accident, then MyAirbags can absolutely help you and reset your airbag module. We provide nationwide service through our mail-in program as well as a local drop-off and pick-up service to reset airbag modules. If your vehicle has NOT been involved in an accident, we recommend you watch our video and have your module scanned by a body shop tech before mailing your airbag module to us.2. Why Did the Airbag Light Just Turn On One Day?
If the airbag light in your vehicle just turned on without an accident, there may be an issue with the airbag system computer, or there may be a bad component of the airbag system. If your vehicle has NOT been involved in an accident, we recommend you watch the accompanying tips and tech video and have your module scanned by a body shop tech before mailing your airbag module to us. If you find by watching this video or if the body shop tech scans and finds the fault in the airbag component, we recommend sending the airbag module to our metro Atlanta facility, where our auto repair technicians will restore it to its factory settings. When you receive your module back from us there are a few distinctly important rules you must follow:- The repaired module MUST GO BACK INTO THE SAME VEHICLE IT WAS INSTALLED IN. Airbag modules are identified to a specific car, just the same as you, the customer is to the address of your house…for instance, if you hop over to your neighbor’s house for an extended stay and expect your mail to get to you there, you’re probably going to have a few problems.
- COMPLETE ALL OTHER REPAIRS FIRST.
- Install all Airbag SRS components (except the module itself) and reconnect them properly first. SRS Installation components include airbags, all seat belts, the clock spring, impact sensors, and fuses.
- Disconnect your vehicle battery. Failure to follow this step usually results in permanent damage to the airbag module. The BATTERY MUST BE DISCONNECTED prior to reconnecting your module.
- Once the battery is disconnected, your module MUST BE securely reinstalled and bolted down tightly. “Securely” is defined here as completely fastened i.e. with the use of tools: wrench, ratchet wrench or torque wrench (the key is: beyond hand threaded).
- Lastly, connect the wiring harness plugs to the airbag module and reconnect the battery.
