What should I know about Ford Bronco Sport airbag control units?
The airbag control unit in the Ford Bronco Sport evaluates the crash sensors, triggers the airbags and belt tensioners, and monitors the system. If it detects a fault, the airbag warning light comes on in the instrument panel.
After an accident, the control unit stores crash data and locks itself. In this state, the unit should not be opened or modified by yourself. Work on airbag systems belongs in the hands of a specialist workshop.
Airbag24 repairs the control unit from your own vehicle, which you send to us, in our workshop in Berlin. The service includes erasing the crash data after an accident and checking for faults. Whether a repair is possible is determined once the unit has arrived.
Which Ford Bronco Sport generations are there?
Our database currently lists one model series for the Ford Bronco Sport: the 1 CX430. It has been built since 2021, and production is still ongoing.
- 1 CX430 (since 2021) – current series, production still ongoing
Assignment depends on the model series, the model year and the part number. If you are unsure which series matches your vehicle, check the model year and the vehicle identification number (VIN).
How do I identify my Ford Bronco Sport airbag control unit?
The part number on the label of the control unit determines the exact version. The model year and the vehicle identification number (VIN) help with the assignment as well.
The part number is located on a label on the control unit and shows which version is fitted. Therefore check the model year and equipment of your Ford Bronco Sport before sending in a control unit.
For this series, the following part number is on record, among others. The list does not claim to be complete:
- M1PZ-14B321-A
For this series, the fault codes B1342, B1231, U0151 and B0001 are on record, among others. A single fault code alone does not prove that the unit is defective. Only the inspection in the workshop shows the cause.
What airbag equipment does the Ford Bronco Sport have?
According to the information on safety equipment, the Ford Bronco Sport includes front airbags for driver and front passenger as well as airbags on the front seats. Depending on model year and trim, further airbags can be added. The owner's manual states the exact scope.
Side airbags on the front seats protect the upper body in a side impact. Head airbags (overhead airbags) protect the head in a side impact and in a rollover. Information on newer model years also lists a knee airbag for the driver and curtain airbags across both rows of seats. For older model years, this is not consistently documented.
The route to repair works as follows: have the fault memory read out at a specialist workshop and have the control unit removed there; the battery is disconnected beforehand. Then create a repair order online and send the unit to Airbag24. Processing usually takes 3–4 working days (inspection, repair, testing).
The repaired control unit comes back with all vehicle data and is ready for use immediately after refitting — coding or programming is not required.
