Will your airbag explode if you remove steering wheel?

It is unlikely for the airbag to explode if you remove the steering wheel of a vehicle. Airbags are designed to deploy with a controlled explosion in the event of a collision. However, removing the steering wheel without deactivating or properly disconnecting the airbag system could lead to accidental deployment.

Many modern vehicles have safety precautions to prevent accidental airbag deployments during maintenance or repairs. These may include disconnecting the battery or using specific tools that disable the airbag system before working on the steering wheel.

If you are unsure how to safely remove the steering wheel, it is best to consult the vehicle's service manual or seek advice from a qualified mechanic or auto technician. Attempting to remove the steering wheel without proper knowledge or precautions could not only increase the risk of airbag deployment but also compromise other safety features of your vehicle.
