Airbags are designed to protect the occupants in a vehicle from serious injury in the event of an accident or sudden deceleration, therefore they make up a very crucial part of a vehicle safety system.Tens of thousands of lives and serious injuries have been prevented since their introduction in the last 40 years. unfortunately, we have seen an increasing number of cars that have had the airbag system bypassed to extinguish the airbag warning light in order to pass the NCT test.If your Airbag light remains illuminated it means that the Airbag control unit has seen a fault within the system and the system WILL NOT deploy the Airbags in the event of an accident. Never ignore a Airbag fault, they are fitted to protect you from serious injury, have the fault diagnosed and repaired urgently. 80 per cent of all Airbag faults we repair are due to loose wiring connections.
