What Steps Should Be Taken with an Air Bag System Post-Collision on 2000 Dodge Durango?

Question

Accepted Answer

After your vehicle is involved in a collision, you should treat the air bag system sensibly. Avoid letting any electrical sources come near the inflator when the air bag module is not deployed and always hold it by its cover or air bag side to help avoid injury in case of accidental opening. When putting the air bag on anything, make sure the air bag side is on top, so it moves less. Always remove the fuse from the air bag system while working on the steering wheel, steering column or instrument panel. Returning damaged or faulty non-deployed air bag modules is required by the policies and procedures of the Chrysler Corporation Warranty. air bags that have been used in an accident require the change of all four parts: both air bag modules, the instrument panel assembly, the steering column assembly and the Clock Spring, since they can become damaged. Always store air bag modules in their containers, in a dry, clean space, far from heat and electric sources and with the air bag side facing up. When you are cleaning out the car after its air bags are deployed, remember to cover your eyes, your hands and your arms to protect yourself from sodium hydroxide powder. First, take out the air bag modules and then use a vacuum cleaner to clean the vehicle interior, blowing out any remaining powder from the heater and air conditioning outlets while the blower operates on its lowest setting. When finished, put the air bag modules into the scrap pile for your vehicle.
