had a small accident, airbags deployed, now engine stalls

sbite · Nov 21st, 2021, 19:11

hi, I have a S60 '17 D4, a dog jumped in front of me on highway while going ~100 kmh, it hit the left side and left airbags deployed, while going to police station engine stopped giving power a few times and then it stalled. tried to start it a few times but it didn't work. few mins later tried again and it started. I remember seeing fuel indicator had no bars when it wouldn't start. I had a full tank.

is this normal when airbags deploy, or is something else wrong here? some people told me it's normal to cut off gas after a crash but this was really weird. thanks in advance

normal. crash mode can only be reset by dealers, its also possible that the seat belt tensioners have fired and will need replaceing

thanks a lot, I looked at the manual and it said I should check for leaks and then I can start it, and I did, it said "normal mode" or something though. it's being towed to dealer anyways, I just wondered if something else got damaged.

I think crash mode disables the lift fuel pump so I wouldn't have expected you to get far - if anywhere - at all.

Check also if the intercooler has been damaged - boost leak could also cause that.
