If you have been in an accident recently or your airbag light is on, do not hesitate to get it looked at. This is also true if your Jetta is a salvage. You may need to get your airbag light or module repaired or reset.
An airbag module is the brains of your cars Supplemental Restraint System, also known as the SRS. It uses the sensors in your VW Jetta to determine what action, if any at all, is necessary when your vehicle has been in an accident or collision.
There are a few reasons why the airbag light may come on, all of which should not be ignored. One of these issues could be with your seat belts. Another issue could be potential water damage to the SRS sensors. The SRS light can also light up if the vehicle has been in an accident recently.
An accident can be at different extremes, resulting in various safety features activating. For example, if the seat belt gets jerked, the airbag module triggers the seat belt to tighten and lock. This puts the person in their seat firmly. In a situation like this, the airbags are not needed. If a collision occurs, however, both the seat belts as well as the airbags get activated by the airbag module. If your airbags have deployed you will need to get a VW Jetta Airbag light reset or repair service.
