The SRS Airbag system is one of the most important passive safety systems in a vehicle, designed to protect occupants in the event of an accident. Any error reported by the system must be treated as a priority to ensure proper operation and occupant safety.

How does the system work?

An airbag is an inflatable cushion controlled by sensors and a control unit (ECU). In the event of a severe collision, it deploys instantly to reduce the risk of injury. The entire process occurs within milliseconds and is fully automatic, requiring no driver intervention.

Main components

• Airbag module: Made of high-strength material, it inflates rapidly upon impact

• Impact sensors: Detect collisions and send signals to the control unit

• Control unit (ECU): Processes sensor data and triggers airbag deployment

•  

Types of airbags

• Front airbags: Driver and front passenger

• Side airbags: Protect the torso

• Curtain / side curtain airbags: Protect the head

• Knee airbags: Protect the legs

If the airbag warning light remains illuminated, it means the system is inactive or malfunctioning, which can compromise safety. Possible causes include a faulty sensor, airbag module, wiring circuit, igniters, or a registered impact event, all of which require prompt diagnosis and intervention.
