Cars have become inevitable in modern day society. Common mass is getting cars irrespective of their earnings. Cars have evolved with time. From vintage cars like the 1925 Flint, we have reached to sports cars running on electricity, Tesla Roadster. Whichever car manufacturer it may be, inventors are always on a quest to improve safety within. One of the major safety norms that has become standard is the airbag. An airbag is a vehicle safety device. It is a type of occupant restraint system that consists of a flexible fabric bag, also known as an airbag cushion. The airbag module is designed to inflate rapidly then quickly deflate during a collision or impact with another object or a sudden deceleration.

The purpose of the airbag is to provide occupant protection and restraint during a crash event. The airbag provides an energy absorbing surface between the vehicle's occupant and a steering wheel, instrument panel, A-B-C- structural body frame pillars, headliner and windshield/windscreen. The auto industry and research and regulatory communities have moved away from their initial view of the airbag as a seat belt replacement, and the bags are now nominally designated as Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) or Supplemental Inflatable Restraints.

The airbag has three components. The first component is the bag, obviously, which is made of fine gauge of nylon and folded into the steering wheel, door panels and dashboards. The second component is the Airbag Control Unit (ACU) that monitors a number of related sensors within the vehicle. The third essential component is the airbag inflator. When the car has suffered a head on collision, the sensor sends signals to the inflator and a chemical reaction starts off to produce nitrogen gas, which will fill the bag and “tear up” the doors or steering wheel boss. All of this reaction takes place within a matter of 30 milliseconds.

Now that we know how airbag works, we must know what happens to the air bag after deployment. After an accident in which the airbag deploys, we have to replace the airbag within a few days. Not just accidents, but when one is buying a refurbished car airbag replacement must be taken care of since the airbags might be obsolete. The process of replacement can be done by professionals but can be carried out by you if you know some basics involved in it.

First of all, determine what you need. Check the government regulations in your locality before buying the product online. The next thing you need is some significant information about the whereabouts of your car. It includes the make and model of the car and where do you want to install the airbag (steering wheel, side doors, passenger dash, etc.). Check for the manual as well because you might need it and even gather necessary tools and other equipments. When you have all that is required, go on for an airbag replacement by yourself. Work with extreme precaution while performing such an operation. A protective eye gear will prove to be handy in this case. The first step is to disconnect the vehicle’s battery. This can be done by removing the negative terminal. The next step will be to remove all air bag fuses from the vehicle’s fuse box. Keep a note of their position and sizes as it will be helpful in replacing them properly. The further step is to disassemble the dash or steering wheel coverings.

This step has to be done according to the manual of your car. It depends on the make and model of the car. Disassembling the steering wheel will give you access to the old air bag or air bag recess. If replacing an old airbag, remove the plug from the back of the air bag. For installing air bags in the hollow, plug the air bag back into the receptacle at the back of the recessed area. The last step is to fill in the air bag in the recess and put back the steering wheel components. Use the user manual to get a better idea on how to remove and assemble the steering wheel components. Replace all the air bags that need to be replaced by following the same procedure. When all air bags are installed properly and the fittings back in place, replace the fuses removed earlier and connect the battery.
