1 Front Air Bag Sensor Control problem of the 1995 Toyota T100

Failure Date: 10/09/2017

While driving up the road my driver's airbag suddenly deployed for no reason. Have read on the internet that this has happened to many others and that humidity could affect the sensors on the airbag system. This was a humid day, I was driving on a newly paved, smooth two lane road and had not struck anything nor had anything struck me. Fortunately, I was able to pull over and safely stop in spite of the cab being filled with the smoke from the airbag. I suffered burns on my chest and left arm and bruising on my left hand and arm.

2 Front Air Bag Sensor Control problem of the 1995 Toyota T100

Failure Date: 06/01/2017

June 1, 2017, while driving straight about 40 mph on the highway, in 5 o'clock traffic, the airbag deployed without reason. I was not hurt and the incident did not cause an accident. The steering column shroud is original, the shroud came in two colors, oak and moon mist. It is unknown at this time what happened but I have done some research and from what it reads, the airbag sensor is located next to the engine and is exposed to the elements which caused it to malfunction.
