The ECU (Electronic Control Unit) in an airbag system monitors various sensors and determines when to deploy the airbags in the event of a collision. It calculates the severity of the impact and triggers the necessary airbags to inflate to protect occupants.
Airbag code 12 typically indicates low voltage in the airbag system, which could be caused by a weak battery, poor connections, or a faulty sensor. It is important to have the system diagnosed and repaired by a qualified technician to ensure the airbags function properly in the event of an accident.
A pyrotechnic inflator is a small explosive device used in airbag systems to rapidly inflate the airbag during a collision. When the system detects a crash, the inflator ignites to generate gas, inflating the airbag in milliseconds to help protect occupants.
I had same problem it was the alternator acting up 2mnths later the alternator failed completely Some vehicles have weight sensors in the passenger seat. If there is approx 15 pounds in the seat (the weight of a infant seat) the pass light comes on and the airbag shuts off. If your vehicle is equipped that way you may have a malfunction with that system.
No. Is a function of the red marrow of the bone (skeletal system).
The function of the ___________________ system is to keep the human species on this planet. Answer
The airbag ECU on a Vauxhall Vectra is located in the engine bay. It is on the side of the engine on the passenger side.
Yes, you can change the airbag ECU on a Peugeot 206, but it's important to follow proper procedures. First, ensure that the battery is disconnected to avoid accidental deployment of the airbags. After replacing the ECU, you will need to reset the airbag system using a diagnostic tool to clear any fault codes and ensure the system functions correctly. Always consult the vehicle's service manual for specific instructions and safety precautions.
The ecu on a 92 Celica is located behind the stereo bolted to the floor under the airbag controler
remove the centre console and its under there, around the handbrake
It must be reset by a Honda Dealer. The light is on because there is a problem with the system. I am sure you do not want the airbag to not function as it should or prematurely deploy.
What about it? If you want to know where it is, remove the centre console from around the handbrake and its under there.
No, the airbag system, and the steering system are completely different. The airbag, in the centre of the steering wheel (i assume) can be replaced. Lets say for example, your vehicle has a crash, and the airbag is deployed, you will need to replace it, and then remove any fault codes from the airbag module (or ECU). If the airbag light is illuminated, but the airbag hasn't deployed, this indicates a general fault (which shouldnt be ignored) Personally id have this investigated by a trained technician, as an exploding airbag isn't something i'd like to be standing next to! SRS systems are complex and rely on a control module, its more electric than it is mechanical, replacing a steering column would just simply; replace the steering column...
The airbag system has a malfunction and will not deploy if needed as long as the airbag symbol stays on.
The light come on when the system detects a problem and sets a trouble code. You should have it diagnosed by a trained technician. The airbag system is not for do it yourselfers.
problem with the airbag system have it checked by a qualified technician
The airbag light can be reset by connecting an ODBII reader. However the light is on because of a problem with the airbag system. The system needs to be checked to insure that the airbag works properly.
When dealing with any part of the airbag system my recommendation is to take the vehicle to the dealership where a train technician can install the new airbag and reset the system. This way if you install the new airbag and the system is not reset. It may malfunction in the event of a collision or it may charge the new airbag and blowup when connected.
