Genesis G80 airbag control unit repair⁽¹⁾

What should I know about Genesis G80 airbag control units?

The airbag control unit of the Genesis G80 evaluates the signals from the crash sensors, triggers the airbags and belt tensioners in an accident and monitors the entire airbag system. A detected fault is shown by the airbag warning light.

After an accident, the control unit stores crash data and locks itself. A defective control unit can impair the function of the airbag system. The airbag system is safety-relevant, so diagnosis and removal belong in the hands of a specialist workshop.

Airbag24 repairs the control unit you have sent in and erases the crash data. Your unit is therefore not replaced by another one. Whether a particular unit can be repaired only becomes clear during inspection.

Which Genesis G80 generations are there?

The Genesis G80 is distinguished by its internal generation code and its production period. This page covers the RG3 generation, built from 2021 to 2023.

The G80 is a sedan from the Genesis brand. With a new generation, the vehicle architecture, safety systems and control units may change. That is why the generation code is a key feature when matching a control unit.

• RG3 (2021–2023) – second generation of the G80 with the internal code RG3

How do I identify my Genesis G80 airbag control unit?

The part number determines the exact version of the control unit. In addition, check the model year and equipment of your Genesis G80, because these determine which variant is installed.

The following part numbers are known for the Genesis G80 RG3. This list does not claim to be complete:

• 95910T1000
• 95910T1010
• 95910T1100

You will find the part number on the label of the control unit. Examples of fault codes for this series are B1620 (internal fault in the airbag control unit), B1101 (supply voltage of the airbag system too high) and B1346 (resistance in the firing circuit of driver airbag stage 1 too high). A fault code alone does not prove a defect; only the inspection reveals the cause.

Which airbag equipment does the Genesis G80 have?

According to the manufacturer, the second-generation Genesis G80 (RG3) has extensive airbag equipment, which includes a driver-side knee airbag. The exact equipment depends on the market and version.

According to the manufacturer's information, standard equipment includes front airbags, side airbags for the front and rear seats, curtain airbags for the head area and a driver-side knee airbag. Genesis lists ten airbags for this system, and a center airbag between the front seats is also mentioned. The control unit coordinates the deployment of these airbags in a crash.

The process up to repair looks like this: first have the fault memory read out and disconnect the battery. Then have a specialist workshop remove the control unit. Next, create a repair order online and send the unit in to Airbag24. Processing usually takes 3–4 working days: inspection, repair and testing.
