Airbag ECU Repair

The airbag ECU is a sophisticated control module critical to driver safety. When it develops a fault it’s important to have the airbag module professionally repaired by an expert.

Thankfully, we offer this very service for a wide range of vehicles – check out our product catalogue for our full range of airbag ECU repairs.

Why do airbag modules fail?

The airbag ECU is as vulnerable to failure as any other control module on your vehicle and internal issues, like component breakdown or software corruption, are more common than you’d expect. This ultimately impairs the module’s ability to analyse data fed to it by impact sensors to know when to deploy the airbags correctly.

How can I tell if my ECU has malfunctioned?

If your airbag module needs to be repaired, one of the most obvious signs is an illuminated airbag warning light on your dashboard. This light signals a problem within the vehicle’s Supplemental Restraint System (SRS), which includes the airbags.

While the warning light doesn’t always mean the airbags won’t deploy in an accident, it’s a clear indication that something isn’t working as it should. To stay safe, it’s best to have the issue checked by a professional as soon as possible.

Tip – As it’s part of the same interconnected Supplemental Restraint System as the airbags, a faulty seatbelt buckle sensor may also trigger the airbag light. Always check that your seatbelts are functioning properly before seeking an airbag module repair.

External issues like wiring faults and sensor malfunctions may also illuminate similar warning lights.

To confirm your ECU is the cause of your problems, send it to us and make use of our state-of-the-art testing facilities. We’ll tell you definitively whether your module is faulty or not in a matter of days – we’ll even waive the small testing fee if you choose for us to repair your airbag module.

Common signs your airbag ECU needs to be repaired include:

• Airbag warning light
• Mileage flashing on dashboard
• An ‘SRS’ warning light or message
• A ‘start stop unavailable’ message
• No diagnostic communication to the airbag module
