Question

Is there anyway to find out how long ago an airbag exploded?

Answer 1

There are ways to possibly determine when the air bag deployed.

If the vehicle's battery has not been disconnected or run completely dead, hook up the diagnostic reader to the vehicle's computer and check for the information (it'll work like the little black box on airplanes)

If the battery is dead or disconnected or if the vehicle has been repaired and the computer reset or if the vehicle has been ran long enough for the memory in the computer to overwrite that information, you'll probably not be able to tell then.

Answer 2

you would have to ask the driver

Answer 3

Not unless you were there or know someone who was..

Answer 4

There is no way unless the previous owner or insurance company would tell you or run a carfax report......
