Does computer track airbag deployment?
Hi folks, does the 991.2 track airbag deployment? Can this be checked by mere mortals?
The airbag is black in this model, but I can't verify the reason for it being changed.
black horn/airbag must have been replaced, but why? can the computer tell if the previous one was deployed?

Keep in mind that the car runs a self-check on the airbags on every start and in the rare case the self test fails the air bag will be replaced. So maybe an accident isn't a sure thing.

Answering a question from above: an airbag error displayed to the human driver is simply a catch-all for any airbag error. Diagnostic tool required to find the real reason.

@ Tosha: Above is my interior at purchase brand new. It has a black airbag - which I personally think contrasts better to the interior giving the whole steering wheel a more cohesive appearance. Hope that helps allay fears of a possible airbag change out.

Thanks! It's odd that a dealership I spoke to said it should have come with the luxor beige... This alleviates my fears a bit. I will probably get it!
