Hi Nice formative vid, the front crashed is there any sensor in the front of the car need replacement or just air bag?

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

Yep. Crash sensors in front. I replaced them in the video below kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZqVeXavYq2MeJo

[@guillermoalbornoz6792]

Hola, buen video. Solo tengo una duda, al momento de reemplazar los airbags explotados, hace falta reemplazar algun otro componente? O solo las bolsas de aire del conductor y acompañante? Muchas graacias.

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

Thanks for the compliment! Other things to replace if any, will be dependent on the recommendations from the manufacturer and SRS scan results. Some manufacturers say that all their crash sensors should be replaced after any accident. Very bad design, if you ask me.

[@teddybear2123]

Nice video and well explaint. Looks like Copart vechicle too me.

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

Thanks! Got from iaai on the contrary.

[@oegesauto5619]

Can i just take off my battery to be safe ? Or only negative?

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

Only negative terminal is safe. Just ensure negative cable is well tucked away, so that there's no risk of it dangling and making contact by accident.

[@jaymoza4856]

My air bag was stolen. But I wanted to know what kind of screws are the ones you removed to take the airbag out. I need to buy some new ones.

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

Sorry to hear your airbag was stolen. They are torx screws. T30. Here's the part number 90134-S6A-A80

[@venturebeats7224]

Did you ever replace yours?

[@tyhull3762]

What happens if the little tabs break? Is there still a way to get the air back out?

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

You mean the tabs for the electrical connector? Can definitely be removed by improvisation.

[@zealgaming9123]

How much is the airbag cost and there’s a car it’s clean title but also has the passenger airbags on seat deployed, better to get a new seat with airbag in it or replace airbag?

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

I bought a used OEM airbag. New is $700 plus. Used varies. Ebay has for around $300. You can either get a used driver seat airbag or just get a used seat. If you don't want to mess with the stitching and all, then the seat would be prefarable. Sometimes getting the seat may even be cheaper if sourced from a junkyard.

Hi please, I have a situation where by my car was broken into and the thieves decided to steal my airbags. My question is if i replace the airbags, would the lights reset? Or do i have to got to a professional to reset the light and install it? Thanks.

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

Sorry to hear this. Was it just airbags they stole? If its just the airbags, the light should go since the SRS ECU did not give the command to deploy any of the airbags, in other words, there's no crash data stored in the module. Right now, the codes you should have should be 'open or increased resistance' related for the respective airbags. Let me know how it goes. At worst, you may just need a scanner with SRS access to clear the codes.

[@JR-lz7ow]

Oh i see Definitely will let you know how it goes. Thanks a-lot I really appreciate 🙏🏾@@DIYAutoworksNG

[@Johncrack]

Did you need the clock spring replace or just the airbag?

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

Just the airbag. Clockspring was fine. If the wires from the clockspring to the airbag aren't fried and the horn and steering wheel buttons work, clockspring should be okay.

[@MKXFORLIFE5104]

What is the best vehicle diagnostic machine to program / clear codes etc

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

There's no such thing as the best scanner really. Some may be good at some tasks, but not support other stuff. It will come down to desired brand to be coverage, priority functions, budget, and willingness/threshold for renewing subscriptions.

​@DIYAutoworksNG can you tell me the name of the silver plate tht holds the horn into the steering wheel???

[@joseherrera1475]

how did you erase the code without changing the impact sensor or if you changed it

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

I never had an impact sensor code. Had to send the module for crash data clearing.

[@wanu6740]

My airbag is stolen and I just got a new one. Can I just install and I don’t have to program it? Is that right?

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

In principle, no programming should be required although you may need to clear the code for the light to turn off. However, if the thieves were aggressive in the removal and it deployed, then crash data removal would be required.

No

I actually don't fix cars commercially.

Ok will I need to replace the whole dashboard for a 2016 Ford explorer sport with steering , dyiver side and driver knee airbags deployed?

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

@christopherogu6444 I've never seen where dashboard replacement was needed after just the deployment of the steering and driver knee airbags. Or are you saying the front passenger airbag also deployed? If so, depending on the design of the dash, the whole dash may need to be replaced.

[@kokoko9557]

Hi, I have a question. My airbag was stolen, but they also cut out the horn connector and I am having troubles finding one online. Are you to provide some more info on the horn connector? (Picture, link to a part etc.) Anything helps

Might be difficult to source online. Maybe try a junkyard? Or try and see if a Baomain female connector would work.

Hi, I bought nissan sentra 2019 and had accident airbags deployed, and i need to bypass the warning light in the dashboard so if i installed resistor in the circuit do I need to clear the airbag module history ?! or resistors will be enough to make the warning light disappear.

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

I won't advise you bypass the SRS by using resistors. Lives depend on it. But if you must know, the crash data will need to be cleared irrespective.

Can i install 2014 accord’s airbag (driver side )into 2017 accord

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

Do you mean the side airbag? For the steering wheel airbag, I recall that the part numbers were different. 2013 - 2014 were the same, while 2015 - 2017 had a different part number. My recommendation is to go strictly by part number given the sensitivity of the SRS.

[@jamiel2625]

Hey where did you purchase the new bag? Cant find one anywhere

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

Got from a physical store that sells used parts. Depending on where you live, you can try Ebay or a junkyard. New ones are available too from dealer websites. Though pricey.

[@javierpnd3625]

La bolsa de la dirección se esploto la compre nueva, al ponerla no se esplota otra ves ? O tengo q cambiar los módulos y sensores ? Gracias a las respuestas

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

It won't, except you do something incorrectly. I did an introduction video on how to repair the SRS, it might be useful. What to replace will depend on the scan result. Either way, if an airbag of seatbelt deployed, the crash data will have to be cleared before the airbag light will go off.

[@jeanssydiankouika5818]

Hi brother ,I need your guidance . I have a 2021 honda crv and the air bag is completely deployed and the seat belt is not working .How do I proceed ?

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

Hello. You'd need to replace the airbag and seatbelt, but beyond that, you need to scan the car with an SRS-capable scanner to know what else should be replaced e.g. Crash sensors. After that you have to clear crash data from the module

[@thundervolt727]

I have a 2012 Honda accord.The airbag light on.The scanner says 11-40 open in the driver's airbag second inflator.I tried to clear it.But it went back on.

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

The car was in a previous accident. Airbag has to be replaced if it hasn't been done, and the SRS module retrieved and cleared of crash data. Watch this previous video I did on the subject kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJ67layKbbSLirc Or the general approach to fixing SRS after an accident. kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYqYgmdofr-hpas

[@josepadilla4297]

How you reset the airbag light?

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

But in summary you have to do the SRS repairs, delete crash data from the SRS module (special tools required. You may have to remove the module and send to those who can do this) & finally recalibrate the occupant detection system if equipped. Here's the full playlist of how I did mine. kzbin.info/aero/PL2pms4eLDw4WQlBoSgJ6oaJRT-DOR1F-i

[@diegomata4639]

I guess my question is, will the mew airbag deploy I just plug it in? Or is it on to plug it in without resting anything?

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

You should connect the new airbag. Once done properly as described in the video, it will not deploy. You can then delete the crash data as soon as you are able.

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

Clockspring is under the steering wheel airbag. Also steering wheel needs to be removed to get to it. If its stolen, your horn won't work and non of the buttons on the steering wheel would. If any of the above work, you still have a clockspring.

It's possible, but you do realize airbags save lives? Being a doctor I really advise against this.

[@AR-mb3id]

In most states in the US, you won't pass inspection if your car horn doesn't work, unless the inspector doesn't bother checking it.

Yep.

Hello I was trying to change the steering wheel emblem and pull it out and accidentally ripped of the airbag cover/horn cover, is there a way that I can change the cover without replacing the airbag? Since the airbag is still okay and untouched.

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

Unfortunately, I don't really have experience with this.

[@edgartrevino8846]

By just replacing the airbag and not resetting the module or replacing crash sensors, is there a chance that airbag can go off after installing?

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

I honestly can't say. Personally, minus clearing the module, I'd leave airbag replacement as the last thing after the other parts. Random airbag deployment is well-reported. Those who make a living working on airbags may be able to shed more light on this.

You'll have to replace or clear the crash data in the module, if not, the light won't go off. I covered the general approach to fixing SRS after an accident in this video. It explains why the module has to be cleared/replaced. kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYqYgmdofr-hpas

Airbags should be replaced first, as well as any parts flagged in a scan (e.g., crash sensors) then crash data cleared/module replaced.

When accident not working this airbeg

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

If your airbags don't work in an accident, something in the SRS is not good. Some Toyota Corolla 2014 had a recall for airbags that don't deploy in and accident. Also if the SRS light is on, the airbag likely won't deploy.

[@DraggNation]

Pls, where or what site do you buy it from?

There are loads of used listings on Ebay. They are also sold on Honda parts dealer websites e.g. Hondapartsnow.com (new ones). I bought from a local shop that deals on used airbags.
