SRS & Airbags
Modern vehicles are equipped with additional airbags that are designed to protect you and your passengers. Additionally, these airbags are also used to reinforce the car’s structural integrity – this includes if a side impact collision were to occur or if your vehicle were to roll over. However, you may find that the airbag or SRS light on your dashboard is illuminated. In this case, your system may not be operating properly, and you could be experiencing a fault. Hence, it is best to get your system checked by a team of professionals. At Mt Pritchard Auto Electrical, we can seamlessly replace airbag components and service your system to ensure it remains safe to always use.
SRS & Airbag Services
Knowing when there is a problem with the SRS or airbag is crucial to keeping yourself and your passengers safe. Usually, the airbag or SRS warning light will appear on the dashboard if there is an issue. This means that there is a fault somewhere in the airbag control unit circuit. For example, it could be a simple loose connection or a flat battery code. When this occurs, the airbags will not operate until the fault has been repaired and the codes have been reset.
At Mt Pritchard Auto Electrical, our team of experts can help fix the issue for you with our range of comprehensive services. We conduct the following fixes:
Deployed Airbag
Airbags can deploy when an electronic signal is sent to the airbag system. This will immediately inflate the airbag with a non-hazardous gas and is designed to save your life when experiencing an accident. If your airbag has been deployed, then our team at Mt Pritchard Auto Electrical can replace the airbag and ensure your car is safe to drive once again. It is highly recommended that you have your airbags in full working order as this system will protect you from any potential crashes. Alternatively, if your car is signaling a fault with the airbag system, but you have had a crash, then you may be dealing with a variety of underlying causes. Each of these will need repairs and can be completed by our experienced team.
Airbag Repairs
At Mt Pritchard Auto Electrical, we specialise in airbag ECU repairs. The ECU is a computer component inside your vehicle that controls the airbag release function. This feature must be operating at an optimal level to ensure the safety of all passengers. Our team will provide high-quality repairs and airbag replacements where necessary.
Airbag Light Reset Service
Our team can reset your car’s airbag light if a fault has been logged and rectified. This can include a flat battery or a connection being disrupted. At Mt Pritchard Auto Electrical, we possess the most comprehensive airbag diagnostic equipment to service almost any vehicle.
Wet Airbag Module
Has your vehicle experienced any water or rain damage? Water may seep through and affect the airbag module. This leads to a corroded airbag that won’t work properly. In addition, any exposure to moisture is not ideal for an airbag as this will cause a shorted module. Hence, a shorted module will result in a DTC airbag code, and your airbag warning light will start to flash. At Mt Pritchard Auto Electrical, we can easily replace your airbags and save them from water damage.
