What This Product Does:

  • These door-airbag units are part of the side-impact protection system. In the event of a side collision, the airbag mounted inside the door or side pillar deploys to help protect the occupant’s torso/hip area and reduce injury.
  • They are designed to work with the car’s crash-sensing system, door sensors, the SRS control module, harness and mounting. The correct part ensures proper deployment timing, direction and effectiveness.
  • Because they must match the original specification (inflator, bag size, side-specific geometry), using the correct part ensures that the door protection system functions as intended by Porsche.

Symptoms & Signs You Should Consider Replacement:
  • The airbag has already deployed (after a crash) and therefore must be replaced.
  • The door-airbag warning light is on (SRS/airbag light on the dash) and diagnostics point to the door side-airbag circuit or sensor.
  • The vehicle is undergoing major door/structural repair or wiring has been disturbed, and the original unit may have been removed, damaged, or cannot be re-certified.
  • Your VIN and parts-history indicate the door airbag unit has been recalled or is out of date for safety reasons (always check current safety service bulletins).
  • You’re restoring the vehicle to “like new” safety specification and want to ensure that all SRS components including side-door airbags are correct.

Why Replacement Matters:
  • Safety: The side-airbag is a critical safety component; improper fitment or incorrect part may result in non-deployment or incorrect deployment in a crash.
  • Legal & insurance: Using the correct OEM airbag unit ensures compliance with safety regulations and may affect insurer/underwriter satisfaction after repairs.
  • Fit & integration: Door airbags must match the connector, mounting bracket, trigger sensor and door wiring harness. A mismatch could lead to fault lights, malfunction or dangerous behaviour.
  • Peace of mind: Having the correct, non-deployed, OEM unit gives confidence that the vehicle’s occupant-protection system is complete and functioning as designed.

About Air Bags & Parts

High-Quality Air Bags & Safety System Parts for Reliable Vehicle Protection

Air bags and associated safety system components are essential elements of a vehicle’s Supplemental Restraint System (SRS). Working alongside seat belts and crash sensors, airbags help reduce injury during a collision by deploying rapidly to cushion occupants from impact forces. These systems rely on a network of electrical sensors, wiring, modules and relays—all of which must function correctly to ensure timely deployment when needed.

Whether replacing faulty components, restoring a damaged vehicle or maintaining compliance with safety standards, high-quality air bag parts are critical for keeping both driver and passengers protected.

What Air Bags & Safety System Components Do

Air bag systems are complex electrical and mechanical assemblies. Their main functions include:

  • Detecting impact forces through crash sensors and accelerometers
  • Triggering rapid airbag deployment via the control module
  • Inflating airbags within milliseconds using pyrotechnic or gas-based inflators
  • Reducing occupant injury by cushioning the body during a collision
  • Supporting seat belt systems via tensioners and pretensioner modules
  • Monitoring system health through SRS warning lights and diagnostic circuits

A correctly functioning airbag system is crucial for modern vehicle safety.

Why Air Bag Systems Commonly Fail

With age, environmental exposure or electrical issues, SRS components can degrade or malfunction. Common failure points include:

  • Damaged wiring or connectors causing intermittent communication faults
  • Failed crash sensors rendering the system unable to detect impact
  • Control unit (ECU) failures due to moisture, impact or internal faults
  • Depleted or expired inflators no longer capable of correct deployment
  • Clock spring faults affecting steering wheel airbag circuits
  • Water intrusion into wiring harnesses or control modules
  • Airbag deployment in previous collisions, requiring complete replacement

System failures typically illuminate the airbag/SRS warning light and may disable the entire airbag system until repaired.

Why You Should Replace Faulty Air Bag Components

Replacing faulty components with high-quality, precision-built alternatives designed to match original safety specifications is essential for vehicle safety and legal compliance.

Key benefits include:

  • Restored SRS functionality and crash protection
  • Compliance with MOT/inspection requirements
  • Eliminated warning lights and diagnostic errors
  • Ensured readiness for correct airbag deployment
  • Improved passenger and driver safety
  • Prevention of electrical faults that can affect other systems

Because airbags are life-saving devices, any malfunction should be addressed immediately.
