Fiat 500 Airbag ECU Repair
The Fiat 500 airbag module is one of the most important safety features built into the vehicle, a malfunctioning module can compromise your safety and the safety of your passengers. The Fiat 500 airbag module is responsible for detecting impacts and deploying the airbags in the event of an accident. However, if the module is faulty, it may not deploy the airbags when needed or may deploy them unexpectedly.
Thankfully, when the module does fail, we get warning signs such as the airbag/SRS warning light becoming constantly illuminated along with messages on the dash cluster reading “Start Stop Unavailable”, “Fuel cut-off Unavailable” and it will even cause the mileage to flash.
If you have had your vehicle scanned with diagnostics then you will be familiar with the U1726 Fiat 500 fault code, this code will be present due to the airbag ECU failing to establish communications with the rest of the safety system inside the vehicle.
Purchasing new from the manufacturer may seem like a great idea, but it’s not the best resolution as it can be quite costly, will require coding to the vehicle (added expense) and only comes with a short one-year warranty, not great for a piece of safety equipment.
Our test and rebuild solution comes with an unlimited mile Lifetime Warranty, can be completed within 2-3 working days, and requires no coding once you receive it back. Let us look after you with our Fiat 500 airbag ecu repair.
