Airbag crash sensor or module?

Post by Wattsy »

Hi guys, my 07 caddy airbag went off when I crashed it last week, ive replaced the airbag and seatbelts and have now figured out (thanks to doc) that I need a new airbag module. Does anyone know if the airbag module is the crash sensor also or do I also need to find and replace a crash sensor of sorts? Thanks in advance.

The airbag module has many sensors on and around the vehicle. It's best to find out, via diagnostics, which sensor is tripped so you can buy the correct one along with a control module new or without any crash data.

There’s a few companies online that will clear the crash data and re set the module ranging from £30-£60 ive found, then the module is just plug and play. As for crash sensors I can’t find anything online, I think the caddy only has them in the module from what I’ve read! I’ve looked on parts catalogue and found one listed but it doesn’t give clear location!
