What should you know about Abarth 600e airbag control units?
The airbag control unit of the Abarth 600e evaluates the signals from the crash sensors, triggers the airbags in a collision and monitors the entire airbag system. If the system detects a fault, the airbag warning light in the instrument cluster lights up. After an accident, the control unit stores crash data and locks itself.
The control unit is the central component of the airbag system. It evaluates the crash sensors, triggers airbags and belt tensioners in an accident, and continuously checks the system's components for faults.
Airbag24 repairs the control unit you send in under the mail-in procedure. The repair takes place in our workshop in Berlin.
Work on the airbag system should be carried out only by a specialist workshop. The system is safety-relevant. If the airbag warning light stays on permanently, have the system checked promptly by a specialist workshop.
Which Abarth 600e generations are there?
The Abarth 600e has so far been built in one generation, the 1st generation. Production began in 2024 and has not yet ended.

How do I identify my Abarth 600e airbag control unit?
The part number on the label of the control unit determines the exact version. Together with the model year and equipment of your Abarth 600e, it allows the correct unit to be matched. A single fault code alone does not prove that the control unit is defective.
The control unit is installed in the vehicle and is identified by its part number. You should also know the model year and equipment of your vehicle. The vehicle identification number (VIN) helps determine the version of your Abarth 600e.
Fault codes from the fault memory give a first indication. Examples are U0151 (communication with the airbag control unit lost) and B0001 (driver airbag: ignition circuit interrupted, open circuit). A code alone does not prove that the control unit is defective; it must be checked together with other findings.
What airbag equipment does the Abarth 600e have?
According to published equipment specifications, the Abarth 600e has six airbags as standard. Which airbags are fitted in which trim level depends on equipment and market.
Such equipment typically includes front, side and head airbags. Whether knee airbags are also fitted should be checked in your vehicle documentation.
The airbag control unit manages the entire system. If the control unit is defective, the function of the whole system can be impaired. If the airbag warning light is on, have the fault memory read first.
The route to repair is straightforward: first have the fault memory read. A specialist workshop then disconnects the battery and removes the control unit. Next, create a repair order online and send in the unit. Processing usually takes 3–4 working days (checking, repairing, testing). The repaired control unit returns with all vehicle data and is ready for use as soon as it is refitted — coding or programming is not necessary.
