Don't mess around with airbag electronics... Posted by CrNiFe [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Read the codes w/ a tech ll and it will tell you. The, jimmy, Wed, 14 Dec 2005 23:23:03 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
If the accident was really bad, how do you know that all the deceleration detectors on the vehicle (in the doors too!) are working properly?
Diagonosing electronics is a pain, which is probably why the repair shop wants to put in new ones. They could be sued by you or your estate, if the airbags don't deploy properly in your next (God-forbid) accident.
Your insurance company and their appraiser-adjusters should know better. The supervisor should know better too. They are on the hook, if they authorize repairs that do not bring the car back to safe operating status. I assume you had collision coverage on the car, and that they are footing the repair bill.
From my point of view, as an owner of a 99MY 9-5SW, and as vehicle collision reconstruction engineer, I would get the codes read by the Tech 2, and if anything is not correct, then pay for the new sensor system out of your own pocket. You will sleep better at night if you do.
And then, see if you can change insurance companies... the one you have now is not looking after your interests, they are penny-pinching at your expense.
