Located under the trim cover are the horn switch, the airbag cushion, and the airbag cushion supporting components. When supplied with the proper electrical signal, the inflator or inflators discharge the gas directly into the cushion. The airbag module cannot be repaired, and must be replaced if deployed or in any way damaged.
