What should be considered with BYD Tang airbag control units?
The airbag control unit in the BYD Tang analyses the signals from the crash sensors, triggers the airbags and belt tensioners in an accident and reports faults via the airbag warning light. After an accident it stores crash data and locks itself.
The control unit monitors the entire airbag system. A fault can cause the airbag warning light to come on and prevent the system from working as intended in a crash.
Airbag24 repairs the control unit you send in. Work on airbag systems is safety-relevant and should only be carried out by a specialist workshop.
Which BYD Tang generations are there?
The BYD Tang has been built in its 2nd generation since 2018, and production is ongoing. Which version is fitted in your vehicle also depends on its year of manufacture.
- 2nd generation (since 2018) – the BYD Tang model line that is still in production.
Within one generation, equipment and control unit version can differ depending on year of manufacture and market. Please check the year of manufacture and equipment of your vehicle before you send in a unit.
How do I identify my BYD Tang airbag control unit?
You can identify the airbag control unit by the part number on its label, the year of manufacture and the vehicle identification number (VIN). The part number determines the exact version of the unit.
Write down the part number in full and compare it with the label on the unit. The year of manufacture and the equipment of your vehicle complement these details, as control units differ by version.
A fault code alone does not prove a defect. The fault memory may show, for example, B1600 (driver front airbag not connected), B1694 (supply voltage too low) or B17A800 (CAN bus interrupted). Only testing the unit shows whether it is actually defective.
Which airbag equipment does the BYD Tang have?
According to the manufacturer's information, front, side and curtain airbags are standard equipment on the BYD Tang. Which airbags are fitted in your vehicle depends on the market and trim level.
According to the manufacturer's documents, standard equipment includes airbags for driver and front passenger, side airbags at the front, and curtain airbags at the front and rear. The owner's manual of your vehicle shows which airbags are installed.
An airbag system only works reliably when the control unit functions correctly. If the airbag warning light comes on, the system should be checked promptly.
This is how the control unit gets to repair: first have the fault memory read out. Then disconnect the battery and have a specialist workshop remove the control unit. Next, create a repair order online and send the unit in. Processing usually takes 3–4 working days for checking, repair and testing.
The repaired control unit comes back with all vehicle data and is ready for use as soon as it is refitted — no coding or programming is necessary.
