Driver and passenger airbags deployed in an accident, I purchased the airbags to install them my self and I will like to know if the two impact sensors in front of the car need to be replaced as well? I have removed them from the car and they looked in pretty good shape, no corrosion at all and the reading with the Ohm meter shows 822 at the connector pins. Please advise and thanks in advance.

Sensors get replaced and the SRS module needs to be checked and deploy codes erased. For that you need a scan tool.

Be careful and do not plug in the bags until you make sure that the rest of the system is okay. Watched a guy plug a steering bag in one time when the SRS module had a charge and was shorted. Not pretty.
