MODULE ASSY-STRG WHEEL AIR BAG

Steering Wheel Airbag Module

The steering wheel airbag module is an indispensable component for ensuring the safety of drivers. In the event of a collision, this mechanism deploys a cushioned barrier, mitigating the impact and reducing potential injuries. It functions by triggering a rapid inflation of the airbag, which is stored within the steering wheel, upon sensing sudden deceleration or impact.

Functionality and Importance

Within milliseconds of a crash, the vehicle's sensor system activates the airbag's inflator device. A chemical reaction produces nitrogen gas, inflating the airbag and cushioning the driver from the steering wheel and dashboard. This quick deployment is crucial in absorbing impact forces that could otherwise cause severe harm.

Consequences of a Malfunctioning Airbag Module

If the steering wheel airbag module is defective or damaged, it may fail to deploy or deploy unexpectedly, posing significant risks to driver safety. A non-functioning airbag system compromises the vehicle's safety mechanisms, leaving occupants vulnerable during accidents.
