Airbag warning began after carpet drying

Water exposure and interior dismantling both matter when a restraint warning appears after drying work. Explain where water entered and which areas were disturbed.

How to approach the assessment

Dry carpet does not establish that connectors or modules are unaffected. Do not disconnect SRS components to check for moisture yourself. The workshop needs the exposure and repair history before deciding which inspection and replacement instructions apply.

Useful details to send

  • Water entry location.
  • Seats or trim removed.
  • First warning and any prior electrical reports.

Arrange the right assessment

This guide does not establish that a vehicle is safe to use. Restraint repairs need qualified assessment and the correct manufacturer instructions. A module service does not replace required component repairs or vehicle-level verification.

Ask AXION about your repair or read our SRS module assessment information. Workshop visits are by appointment in Didcot. Confirm suitability before posting any removed module.
