Frequently Asked Questions about Airbag Ribbons
Clear all your doubts about operation, symptoms, replacement and purchasing airbag ribbons. Learn how to identify problems and ensure your vehicle’s safety.

How does the airbag work?
✓ The airbag cushions are connected to the vehicle’s speed system. When an impact occurs, the vehicle decelerates suddenly, causing the system to inflate extremely quickly. To give you an idea, up to 30 airbags can be inflated in just 1 second.

Can the airbag fail?
✓ It depends. The airbag will only fail to deploy if there is a bad connection with the airbag ribbon. Always stay alert to the condition of your vehicle’s ribbon.

When should I replace the airbag ribbon?
✓ If the airbag ribbon has problems, it will be indicated on your vehicle’s dashboard. This warning usually resembles an icon of a seated person with a ball in front of them.
A message warning of an airbag fault may also appear. Each vehicle displays this differently and, in case of doubt, it is best to consult the vehicle manual.
Another sign is when electrical components stop working, such as the multimedia system, horn, cruise control or even sound, as in some models the airbag ribbon controls these systems.

What should I do if the airbag ribbon has problems?
✓ The best option is to take your car to a trusted mechanic or workshop. Only professionals have the tools and expertise to assess the ribbon and determine whether it should be repaired or replaced.
If you need a new ribbon, pay attention to the vehicle’s model and year. The Nova Luz team provides repair and installation services, as well as proper guidance in choosing the right part for various makes and models.

What are airbag ribbons?
✓ Airbag ribbons, also known as steering wheel ribbons or clock springs, are components installed in the steering wheel that allow the electrical connection between the wheel and the vehicle system, including the airbag, horn and controls.

What are airbag ribbons used for?

✓ The most common symptoms include the airbag warning light on the dashboard, the horn not working, steering wheel buttons not responding and noises when turning the wheel.

Can I drive with a faulty airbag ribbon?
✓ You can, but it is not advisable. In the event of an accident, the airbag may not deploy, compromising occupant safety.

Will a faulty airbag ribbon fail the inspection?
✓ Yes. If the airbag warning light is on, the vehicle may fail the mandatory inspection.

When should I replace the airbag ribbon?

Is replacing the airbag ribbon complicated?
✓ Replacement requires technical knowledge, as it involves safety components. It is recommended that it is carried out by specialised professionals.

Can the airbag ribbon be repaired or must it be replaced?
✓ In most cases, replacement is the solution. However, there are specialised services that can repair it depending on its condition.

Is the airbag ribbon the same for all cars?
✓ No. Each vehicle make and model may require a specific ribbon. It is important to ensure compatibility before purchase or replacement.

Can I buy an airbag ribbon online?
✓ Yes, but you must ensure you are choosing the correct part for your vehicle.

How do I know which airbag ribbon is correct for my car?
✓ You can check the original part reference, the vehicle’s make, model and year, or seek specialised technical support.

Does the airbag ribbon affect other vehicle systems?
✓ Yes. In addition to the airbag, it can affect the horn, steering wheel controls and other electronic systems associated with the steering wheel.

How much does it cost to repair an airbag ribbon?
✓ Repair costs are generally lower than buying a new part and vary depending on the vehicle model and type of fault.

How much does it cost to replace an airbag ribbon?
✓ The cost may vary depending on the vehicle model and the part, but it is relatively affordable compared to the risks of not replacing it.

Is it better to repair or replace the airbag ribbon?

✓ Not always, but it is one of the most common causes.

Can I continue using the car before repairing it?
✓ You can, but it is not safe.

How do I know if the airbag ribbon is the problem?
