Importance of the Air Bag Sensor Assembly

An air bag sensor assembly is an essential component in modern vehicles, playing a critical role in ensuring passenger safety during collisions. When a sudden impact is detected, this sensor triggers the deployment of the air bags, cushioning occupants and reducing the risk of injury.

How It Works

The sensor assembly continuously monitors the vehicle's dynamics, such as speed and acceleration. When the system detects a collision force above a certain threshold, it sends a signal to the air bag control unit, initiating the air bag deployment sequence within milliseconds.

Consequences of a Malfunctioning Sensor

If the air bag sensor is compromised or fails to function, your air bags may not deploy during an accident, posing significant safety risks. This not only jeopardizes the occupants' safety but also leads to potential legal issues as vehicles without working safety systems might not meet road safety standards.
