Airbag question

[mechanic117]

last week i was in an accident that caused both airbags to go off. im a mechanic at a lexus dealership so i can do my own work but i wanted to know what i need to replace other then the airbags for everything to be good.

thanks for the help

1. Both airbags
2. SDM/airbag module (these can be reprogrammed to clear the codes, but its best to get a new or an un-used used part)
3. Shock sensors, should be mounted on the radiator support, but not sure about your 2003
4. Any seatbelts in use at the time of the accident. Impacts put tremendous strain on the webbing and stitching, its cheap insurance to just replace them now.

Good luck!

thank you for replying. i looked it up and the sensors are located in the module so i will just replace it
