One of my door air bags deployed now my volks wagon won’t start. If I take the air bag module will it start?

Hi, this is Bo, an auto expert on RepairPal's Car Genius team! After an airbag deploys in your 2018 Volkswagen Passat, the car’s system likely put it into a "safe" or "limp" mode, which can prevent it from starting. Removing the airbag module probably won’t fix the problem—in fact, it could create more issues. You'll likely need to reset the airbag system and check for any stored trouble codes that are preventing the engine from starting. A mechanic with a proper scan tool can clear the airbag fault and make sure everything else is functioning properly.
