Replacement & Fitment
Installation should be carried out by qualified technicians. Typical steps include disconnecting the battery and observing the manufacturer’s recommended waiting period to allow the SRS system capacitors to discharge (commonly 10–15 minutes), removing trim and mounting fasteners, disconnecting the airbag connector(s), fitting the new module, and confirming proper operation with a diagnostic tool to clear and verify SRS fault codes. Always follow the vehicle-specific service manual for exact procedures and torque values.
Service Life & Failure Causes
Airbags are long-lived safety components but should be inspected periodically. A common guideline is inspection every ten years from vehicle manufacture, or sooner if the vehicle has been involved in an accident or if the SRS warning lamp is illuminated. Common reasons for replacement include previous deployment, wiring or connector damage, water ingress, electrical faults, or physical damage to the module.
