air bag replacing..?

[elton123]

If anyone know about air bag servicing, I hit a pole going like 20 mph and so air bags went off, Im thinking about buying them on ebay or junkyard, after I replace them will the airbag light automatically go off? or will I also have to replace the control module.

Whoa, sorry to hear that... Usually it's recommended to change the sensors in case it is stuck in the deploy signal or extra sensitive (e.g. you go over a pothole and it deploys), but I'm not too sure if it's REALLY necessary.

where the sensors located and how many are there.

I know in my Gen 3 (92-96 Camry), there is 2 sensors behind each front fender. IF the SRS system is ok, the light should turn off when the car is turned on. The center sensor (under my center counsol) dies, as soon as it was replaced, the light automatically went off. Just be SURE that WHENEVER you work on the SRS system that the battery has been unhooked for at least 10 minutes.

well since I was in a minor accident, it will be too much time and money to try and replace those sensors, both airbags and diagnostic comp, then hope the srs will stay off, so I will probably just do an airbag deletion of some kind.
