Air bags
Description: On certain passenger vehicles, the air bag electronic control unit (ecu) is designed to sense and discriminate frontal impact events, command air bag and seat belt pretensioner deployments in a timely manner, and perform continuous diagnostics of the air bag system in the vehicle. Due to the possible insufficient sealing of the bottom of an electrolyte capacitor, it is possible for it to leak electrolyte within the air bag ecu. Also, in high humidity environments, the operation of the vehicle air conditioner can cause rapid cooling of the ecu, which in turn may cause the formation of condensation with the unit.
Damage: If this moisture comes into contact with the electrolyte from the
capacitor, it forms a highly conductive material that could create an electrical short circuit. This electrical short could trigger the air bags and seat belt pretensioners.
Year: 1995
Air bags:frontal
Description: Vehicle description: Passenger vehicles. Static electricity can build up within the passenger-side air bag module and create enough of a charge to cause an inadvertent air bag deployment. Most of these inadvertent deployments have occurred in cooler, dry weather, and have generally included dusting or wiping of the dashboard, starting the car, or closing the door.
Damage: Unexpected air bag deployment can result in occupant injury.
Year: 1998

Air bags:frontal:sensor/control module
Description: Vehicle description: Passenger vehicles. Moisture can enter the air bag inflatable restraint electronic control module (ecm) and cause corrosion on portions of the ecm printer circuit boards.
Damage: This corrosion can possibly create open connections in circuits which control the restraint deployment, possibly causing inadvertent air bag deployment.
Year: 1994, 1993, 1992
