How much does it cost to get airbags checked?
You’ll need to hire a professional to come in and examine the airbags before you continue to drive the car. This process can take several hours of time and usually costs a few hundred dollars, although depending upon the type of car it may be up to about $600.
Does blue driver clear airbag codes?
If you need to get yourself a scanner, I would seriously consider the BlueDriver® because not only can you read and clear the typical check engine light codes, you can also read and clear airbag, transmission, ABS, and other module codes (for Ford, GM, and Chrysler vehicles).
How does an air bag inspection work on a car?
A top-rated mobile mechanic will come to your home or office to determine the source and cause of the airbag issue, and will then provide a detailed inspection report that includes the scope and cost of the necessary repairs. The mechanic will scan the car for error codes and carefully check the entire airbag system for problems.
Is it possible to reset the airbag light without a scanner?
Luckily, in many car models, the airbag light will also go away by itself if you have repaired the problem. In some older cars, though, it is possible to reset the airbag light without a scanner by removing the car battery terminals.
How are airbags deployed in a car crash?
Impact sensors – also known as crash sensors – alert your airbag module when your vehicle is involved in a crash. Your car has many sensors placed in various locations throughout its body, so that impact on any part of the vehicle can be sensed. Upon impact, the crash sensors send a signal to the airbag module to deploy the airbags.
How does the Mercedes Benz airbag system work?
In the Mercedes system, the sensors automatically tensioned the seat belts to reduce occupants’ motion on impact (now a common feature), and then deployed the airbag on impact. This integrated the seat belts and airbag into a restraint system, rather than the airbag being considered an alternative to the seat belt.

How does a diagnostic scan work on a car?
A simple four-button control system makes it an extremely easy to use diagnostic tool, and the scanner display will tell you the meaning of each error code once it gathers the data needed to identify it. Unlike a lot of scan tools, it can also detect the engine system, tracking emissions, and performance problems with ease.

Can a tester be used to test an airbag?
ALWAYS refer to the applicable factory service guidelines for the correct procedure for any given vehicle! Inspecting an airbag module using a tester can deploy the airbag module, which may cause serious injury. DO NOT use a tester to inspect an airbag module. Always use the on-board diagnostic function to diagnose the module for malfunctions.
