First, you’ll need to know exactly how your airbags work. If you’re involved in a head-on collision, and are going at least 12 mph in most vehicles, your airbag driver sensors will detect that the car is moving much slower than normal, and the sensors will send a signal to the diagnostic module. The module will then self-test to confirm that the car is experiencing a crash, and the airbag will deploy. In about 30 milliseconds, the airbag will inflate, cushioning any impact that you will have with the front of the car, you’ll be pushed back into your seat, and the bag will deflate, leaving you in an upright position that will help to promote circulation until the ambulance or additional medical help arrives.

In the airbag driver device, you’ll find the cover for the airbag, which is placed over the center of the steering wheel, and airbag assembly, which is right underneath the cover. The clockspring is also close to the airbag driver, and this device allows the steering wheel to move regularly, while still maintaining the electrical connection to the airbag module. This is the reason that you will still experience the inflation of the airbag even while you are driving.

If you’ve been in an accident recently, or if you’ve just purchased a used car that has been in an accident before, it’s very important that you make sure that your airbag driver module is working properly. You can check yourself by turning the key in your car to ensure that the SRS unit light comes on for about 10 seconds. If the light flickers off, or doesn’t come on at all, you should have the car checked right away. It could be nothing more than a bulb shortage, but you’ll want to be sure. If the light stays on for more than 10 seconds, this can be cause for concern as well. Make sure that the airbag driver light does not come on while you are driving, as this could mean that the airbag will deploy when there is no accident, and this could cause some serious problems.

If you want to know more about the progress that is being made with airbag driver tools, you can check out the websites sponsored by companies like General Motors and Honda for more information.
