Default Airbag Contol Module Replacement

My sister crashed her car and whilst I have repaired cars before, I have never replaced any activated airbags. Do I need to replace the control module or can this be used more than once?

Cheers

Depends on the airbag module used. Some need to be replaced, while others do not.
In some cases with new cars (Opel Corsa-D) the airbag module is even part of the anti-theft and needs to be coded by a dealer.
Check with your dealer to see what applies.
Or sypply a bit more information here. Car make, year and model. Airbag system used, etc.

As above, and some will only fire a certain amount of times.
