Chrysler Ypsilon airbag control unit repair⁽¹⁾

What should be considered with Chrysler Ypsilon airbag control units?

The airbag control unit of the Chrysler Ypsilon evaluates the crash sensors, triggers the airbags and seat belt pretensioners, and monitors the entire airbag system. If the system detects a fault, the airbag warning light comes on. Airbag24 repairs your own control unit that you send in.

After an accident, the control unit stores crash data and locks itself. During the repair, the crash data is deleted.

The airbag system is safety-relevant. Work on the control unit should therefore be left to a specialist workshop, and the unit should not be opened or modified by yourself.

Which Chrysler Ypsilon generations are there?

For the Chrysler Ypsilon we list one model series: the 846 series, built from 2011 to 2015. Within this series, the version of the control unit can vary by model year and equipment.

We offer control units for this series in our shop. Which version fits your vehicle is shown by the model year and the part number.

• 846 (2011–2015): series of the Chrysler Ypsilon, built from 2011 to 2015

How do I identify my Chrysler Ypsilon airbag control unit?

The part number determines the exact version of the control unit. Together with the model year and equipment of your vehicle, the unit can be assigned.

You will find the part number on the label of the control unit. These part numbers are on record for this model; the list makes no claim to be complete:

• 51833230
• 51939105
• 52052831

The control units listed here come from the supplier Bosch. A fault code alone does not prove a defect. As examples, our database lists B2208 for an internal fault in the airbag control unit, U0151 for a lost communication link to the airbag control unit, and B1B02 for an interrupted driver airbag firing circuit.

What airbag equipment does the Chrysler Ypsilon have?

The Chrysler Ypsilon comes as standard with airbags for driver and front passenger and with curtain airbags for the head at the windows. Side airbags are added depending on the trim level; the SE and Limited versions are listed with six airbags.

According to British equipment listings, these include two front airbags, two curtain airbags and two side airbags. The entry-level S trim has no side airbags and a lower total. These details come from British sources; equipment in other markets may differ.

Whether a specific vehicle had these airbags as standard is shown by the vehicle documents and the equipment list of your car.

This is how the repair works: have the fault memory read out at a specialist workshop. Before the control unit is removed, the battery is disconnected; a specialist company should carry out the removal. Then create a repair order online and send the unit in by parcel. Processing usually takes 3–4 working days (checking, repairing, testing).

The repaired control unit returns with all vehicle data and is ready for use straight after refitting — coding or programming is not necessary.
