There are several sensors around the car that detect a sudden change in velocity from an impact and trigger the airbags. The left front sensor on this Civic was up around the headlight area. I was able to move enough plastic shielding away to find that the wires going to the sensor had corroded and broken. I&#8217;m not sure how enough water got up there to corrode it, but because these are sensor wires, particularly for the airbag system, trying to repair them is not advised, and a whole engine compartment\/front end wiring harness is needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">New blog post or video every Monday, plus pictures throughout the week on <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/facebook.com\/mechanicalmalarkey\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a>, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/mech_malarkey\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/instagram.com\/mechanicalmalarkey\">Instagram<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCasCW0ImD3UuLeMu5RAZCXg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Watch Mechanical Malarkey on YouTube!<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mechanical Malarkey <a href=\"https:\/\/mechanicalmalarkey.com\/merchandise\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">T-shirts, hats, and stickers<\/a> are available to order!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">-Dan<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Honda Civic came into the shop needing an SRS light diagnosis.
