Genesis GV80 airbag control unit repair⁽¹⁾

What should I pay attention to with Genesis GV80 airbag control units?

The airbag control unit of the Genesis GV80 evaluates the signals from the crash sensors and triggers the airbags and the belt tensioners. It monitors the entire airbag system. If it detects a fault, the airbag warning light comes on. After an accident, it stores crash data.

The control unit is the central component of the airbag system. In an accident, it uses the sensor signals to decide whether and when the airbags and belt tensioners deploy. After deployment, it stores crash data and locks itself. A defective control unit can also keep the airbag warning light on permanently.

Airbag systems are safety-relevant. Please have testing, removal and repair carried out only by a specialist workshop. Airbag24 repairs your own control unit, sent in to us, at our workshop in Berlin.

Which Genesis GV80 generations are there?

Our overview currently lists one series for the Genesis GV80. The series and the model year of your vehicle are therefore decisive.

The Genesis GV80 series carries the code JX1 and was built from 2021 to 2023. Compare the model year and the vehicle identification number (VIN) with these details before you send in the control unit.

• JX1 (2021–2023) – the series of the Genesis GV80 recorded in our overview

How do I identify my Genesis GV80 airbag control unit?

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

You will find the part number on the control unit's label. Note it down before removal. Known part numbers for the Genesis GV80 include (no claim to completeness):

• 95910T6100
• 95910T6200

Fault codes such as B1620 (internal fault in the control unit), B1650 (crash stored, first stage) or B1101 (supply voltage too high) can point to a problem. A single code does not prove a defect, however. Only a proper test shows the cause.

What airbag equipment does the Genesis GV80 have?

The Genesis GV80 comes as standard with front airbags, a driver knee airbag, and side head and chest airbags. The scope and layout can vary by market and trim level.

According to safety tests in Europe, the side head airbags also protect the rear seats. A centre airbag between the front seats is also fitted, designed to reduce injuries between occupants in side impacts. You can check whether your vehicle has this equipment using the vehicle identification number and the equipment list.

This is how the Genesis GV80 airbag control unit repair works: have a specialist workshop read out the fault memory. Before removal, the workshop disconnects the battery and removes the control unit. Create a repair order online and send the unit, well packed, to Airbag24.

Processing usually takes 3–4 working days: we check, repair and test the control unit. The repaired control unit returns with all vehicle data and is ready for use straight after reinstallation. No coding or programming is required.
