well i got into a self-accident and airbags deployed. if i were to follow the DIY steering wheel removal n just take out the deployed airbag, could i just replace it with a new one? both fronts deployed so im wanting to change out both. people tell me ill have to get the module too, true? cant i just take out old n put in new?

please any help is appreciated...

pics of the bumper, sorry no camera when incident happened...



n could anyone tell me what this bent peice is called? n could i get it at the dealership? (the bar that the front bumper screws into)

I'd say legally I believe you have to be certified to service anything related to the airbag/SRS system.

May not be the case in your area tho

The seat belts need to be replaced too.

And the SRS module, located under the radio.

True, the seatbelts have tentioners that are activated in a crash to tighten the seatbelt. Once activated, they must be replaced.

The bent piece is the radiator core support. It's welded to the car. You really need to go a body shop for the repairs.

Given the core support damage and airbags deployed you may want to contact your insurance company. Even a 1000$ deductible will be less than repair cost.

yea i thought so about the seatbelts, someone told me take it apart and reel it bakc in by hand, did sound like to me...so the SRS module has to be replaced also?

slows2k, its not welded, its the bar that comes before the radiator support. there was 4bolts holding it in behind the reinforcement bar...was going to take it out but ran out of daylight n time...

really low on money right now (home issues). luckily i had a spare steering wheel (w/ airbag), reinforcement bar, front bumper (knock off veilside) laying around. so ill just need to go get the SRS module and seatbelts. yea?

welp just looked at the Helms, SRS module looks pretty simple to install, but the belt tensioner looks like a PITA! so what would you guys recommend do first? just found out my bro had already changed out the driver airbag (not even sure if he did it right), but not the module.

would it be alright to change out the module for now, n seatbelt tensioner later?

the belt should be fine 90 percent of the time, check for blister and sign of pulls on the fabric.

the metal beam you can get it at honda,it's not likely for honda to weld that into the unibody.

the Srs stuff is very easy to replace, it doesn't takes alot of work, just some simple precaution like no wire it up when the battery is on

invest/steal a service manual and it's all there

sooo, would it be alright to change out the module for now, n seatbelt tensioner later? or do they have to be done at the same time?
