Honda Crosstour airbag control unit repair⁽¹⁾

What should I pay attention to with Honda Crosstour airbag control units?

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

The airbag system is safety-critical. A defective control unit can mean that the entire airbag system no longer works reliably. For this reason, diagnosis, removal and any work on the airbag system should be left to a specialist workshop.

Airbag24 repairs the airbag control unit that you send in, which is your own unit. The crash data is professionally erased and the unit is checked for faults. Whether a specific defect can be repaired is shown by the examination of the unit you send in.

Which Honda Crosstour generations are there?

The Honda Crosstour was built in one generation, in model years 2010 to 2015. Production ended with model year 2015.

The series designation helps with a first classification. The exact variant, however, is determined by the part number on the control unit itself.

• 1st generation (2010–2015) – the first and only generation of the Crosstour, built up to model year 2015.

How do I identify my Honda Crosstour airbag control unit?

The part number on the label of the airbag control unit determines the exact version. The model year and equipment of your vehicle add to this information. Enter the part number in the repair order so that the assignment is unambiguous.

These part numbers are known for the first generation of the Honda Crosstour. The list is not complete:

• 77960-TP6-A111-M2, 77960-TP6-A120-M2, 77960-TP6-A211-M2, 77960-TP6-A220-M2, 77960-TP6-X011-M2, 77960-TP6-X020-M1, 77960-TP6-X111-M2

A fault code alone does not prove a defect. Examples are B1000 (fault in the airbag control unit itself), U0151 (communication with the restraint system control unit lost) and 5-1 (collision detected, crash data stored). Only reading out the fault memory shows which fault is actually present.

Which airbag equipment does the Honda Crosstour have?

The Honda Crosstour is equipped with side curtain airbags. Which further airbags are fitted depends on model year and trim level and can be checked on the vehicle itself.

Side curtain airbags deploy along the side windows and protect the head area in a side impact. Front airbags for driver and front passenger are generally part of the standard equipment. Depending on the version, knee airbags under the steering wheel and glove box may also be fitted.

If the airbag warning light is on, have the fault memory read out at a specialist workshop. The control unit is removed there; before that the battery is disconnected. Then create a repair order online with Airbag24 and send in the unit.

Processing usually takes 3–4 working days and includes checking, repairing and testing the unit. The repaired control unit returns with all vehicle data and is ready for use immediately after reinstallation — no coding or programming is necessary.
