Hey everyone!

I was involved in an accident with my 1991 300E approx. 7 weeks ago that deployed the driver's airbag. The force broke my hand.
I've gotten a new steering wheel with airbag but now i need to know if the control unit needs to be replaced or can it be reprogrammed. The belt tensioner system is fine.

You only get one deployment from the module, so yes it need to be replaced.
