After airbag deployment does vehicle have to go to dealership after new airbags are installed

Question

I have a 2001 Malibu and I replaced the deployed airbags. Does the vehicle have to go back to the dealership to make the air bags function properly.

Answer 1

only if the person that replaced them didnt do it right

if the airbags are replaced and there is no srs or airbag light on or flashing then its all good the lightshould come on for a few seconds when you start the car  if it stays on then you should have the sensors replaced or other parts that are bad

Answer 2
