A nondeployment analysis can include the direction and severity of the crash, vehicle damage, airbag control-module information, diagnostic trouble codes, sensor and wiring condition, system configuration, and service and repair history. The absence of deployment does not by itself establish that the system malfunctioned; the expert must compare the crash conditions with how the particular system was designed to respond.
The available information varies by vehicle and system. Depending on the design, a restraint or airbag control module may contain or provide access to crash-related data, deployment status, diagnostic information, or other recorded parameters. An expert can determine what information is available, interpret it in context, and compare it with physical evidence and other vehicle records.
Yes. An unexpected or disputed deployment can require examination of module data, sensors, wiring, system faults, vehicle condition, and the circumstances immediately preceding activation. The analysis focuses on identifying evidence that may explain why the restraint system responded as it did.
Airbags are designed to work with seat belts rather than replace them. In an airbag-performance dispute, relevant evidence may include seat-belt use, pretensioner status where available, occupant position, and other restraint-system information. Detailed questions about seat-belt performance may require separate seat-belt expertise, while occupant-motion or injury-mechanism analysis may require additional biomechanical expertise.
