I am repairing a front damaged 2018 F150. The deployable steering column is showing as blown when the SRS system is scanned.
I am not sure what deploys inside it so I will ask....is there any way to repair the steering column other than replacing it?

 

this is the first I've heard of a SRS on the column itself... Please let me know what you find

 

quick google search, here's the sensor.... Not sure if that is serviceable from Ford separately...

 

That is the baby. I wasn't sure what to call it so didn't search very hard. I have used "My Air Bags" previously so I am sure they can rebuild it successfully.

 

I talked to My Air Bags and they say they can reset it. Also said they don't have a pic or video of the sensor in the F-150 steering column. I was hoping someone here might have a pic. I haven't looked at my column yet.

 

This is the module in question. I just confirmed with "My Air Bags.com" that this is the part that blows in a front hit collision. Ford says you have to replace the column. MABs can rebuild it for $80.

 

I need to get myself a few of these to reverse engineer... they look like fun!

 

Some where in the world these little darlings are being produced. Too bad we couldn't find the source.
