Chrysler Delta airbag control unit repair⁽¹⁾

What should I pay attention to with Chrysler Delta airbag control units?

The Chrysler Delta airbag control unit evaluates the crash sensors, triggers the airbags and belt tensioners, and monitors the entire airbag system. If it detects a fault, the airbag warning light comes on. After an accident, it stores crash data and locks itself.

The control unit is the central unit of the airbag system. It continuously checks the sensor signals and decides in a collision whether the airbags and belt tensioners are triggered. A defective control unit can impair the function of the entire airbag system.

After an accident in which airbags or belt tensioners were triggered, crash data remain stored in the control unit. These data are erased during the repair. Airbag24 repairs your own control unit that you send in. The cause of the fault is examined. Whether and to what extent a unit can be repaired only becomes clear through the examination.

Which Chrysler Delta generations are there?

The Chrysler Delta was built in the 844 series from 2011 to 2014. Within this production period, the version of the control unit can vary, so the part number is decisive.

For identification, series and year of manufacture belong together. Knowing the year of manufacture of your vehicle narrows down the version more quickly.

• 844 (2011–2014): series of the Chrysler Delta with control units from this production period.

How do I identify my Chrysler Delta airbag control unit?

The part number on the label of the control unit determines the exact version. The year of manufacture and the equipment of your vehicle help with the assignment.

The part number is usually printed directly on the housing of the control unit. The following part numbers belong to the Chrysler Delta according to our data; they are examples and do not form a complete list:

• 51808041
• 53284389

Please also note the year of manufacture and the vehicle identification number (VIN). This information helps narrow down the version that matches your vehicle.

Fault codes also give clues. Code B2208 stands for an internal fault in the airbag control unit, U0151 for a loss of communication with the control unit, and B1B02 for an interrupted ignition circuit 1 of the driver airbag. A single code does not yet prove that the control unit is defective.

What airbag equipment does the Chrysler Delta have?

According to equipment information for the 2011 to 2013 model years, six airbags are standard: front, side and curtain airbags. You can check your vehicle's equipment against its equipment list.

In detail, these are two front airbags for driver and front passenger, two side airbags and two curtain airbags that extend along the side windows. The belt tensioners on the front seats also belong to the system that the control unit triggers.

The airbag warning light indicates faults in the system. Have the fault memory read out at a specialist workshop. There, the control unit is removed and the battery is disconnected beforehand. Then create a repair order online and send the control unit to Airbag24 by parcel. Processing usually takes 3–4 working days: checking, repairing and testing.

The repaired control unit comes back with all vehicle data and is ready for use immediately after refitting — no coding or programming is necessary.

The airbag system is safety-relevant. Work on it should only be carried out by specialist workshops.
