An accident or a sharp impact on the car provokes the release of airbags. From now on, the on-board computer of the car will remind the driver with a sound signal every time the engine is started that there is a threat to his safety, and a special icon will flash to indicate that there are no airbags. After accidents, many car owners try to replace pillows on their own or "trick" the computer.
Instructions
Step 1
First of all, you need to know that you cannot simply replace a worn out pillow. In this case, it will also be necessary to edit the brain computer. In any car, even with an average level of security, there is a unit responsible for the correct operation of this system.
Step 2
In case of a possible accident, the shock sensor turns on, and airbags, as well as belt squibs, are fired. A special block receives information that the system has worked. Subsequently, with each ignition of the car, the auto malfunction lamp will be on on the status bar. And even if the airbag is replaced, the malfunction will not be eliminated, and the airbag will not work properly, which means it will not work at the right time.
Step 3
The approximate cost of a steering airbag varies from 200-400 USD. Here, the key factor can only be the model and year of manufacture of the car. Merely replacing the pillow, as previously stated, will not correct the problem and the SRS will not work properly.
Step 4
A lot of work needs to be done to avoid this problem. Replace the used cushions with new ones.
Step 5
Eliminate the problem with the brain computer, otherwise - with the SRS unit. Change the error code with the code of the new car, after that the computer should recognize everything as if nothing had happened. But this process is not as easy as it might seem at first glance.
Step 6
The problem is that the car manufacturer complicates the secrecy of data every time, which makes it necessary to purchase the unit again. In some cases, secret data can be tied to a particular model. The cost of such a block is from 600-1500 USD.
Step 7
If you do not have the opportunity to buy a block, then you need to copy the dump file data to a USB flash drive before the accident. This must be done with certain knowledge in this area. If there are none, then contact the specialists. In no case try to make a copy of the files if you do not understand, so as not to provoke the release of pillows.
Step 8
If you have data on the flash card, then you need to flash a dump from a working system using the programmer, after purchasing this programmer and the necessary microcircuits. Replace the necessary microchips in the block or flash the old ones with the necessary dump.
