Honda FR-V airbag control unit repair⁽¹⁾

What should be considered with Honda FR-V airbag control units?

The airbag control unit of the Honda FR-V evaluates the crash sensors, triggers the airbags and belt tensioners, and monitors the entire system. If it detects a fault, the airbag warning light comes on. Airbag24 repairs the control unit you send in from your own vehicle.

After an accident, the control unit stores crash data and locks itself. The crash data is deleted during the repair, after which the unit is checked and tested.

The airbag system is safety-relevant. Work on it should be left to a specialist workshop rather than carried out yourself.

Which Honda FR-V generations are there?

The Honda FR-V was built from 2004 to 2009. Our data lists the model under the series designation BE, which covers the entire production period.

The series designation alone does not define the exact version of the control unit. The production year and the part number are decisive, as the next section explains.

• BE (2004–2009) – the series from its market launch in 2004 to the end of production in 2009.

How do I identify my Honda FR-V airbag control unit?

The part number on the label of the control unit determines the exact version. The production year and equipment of your vehicle help to classify the unit correctly.

The following part numbers are given for orientation, without any claim to completeness:

• Part number 77960-SJH-G210-M2
• Part number 77960-SJD-G210-M2

According to our information, the supplier of the control unit is Denso. A fault code provides a clue, but on its own it does not prove a defect. Examples are B1000 (fault in the control unit itself), B1001 (memory fault in the control unit) and U0151 (communication with the restraint system control unit lost). A diagnosis at a specialist workshop shows whether a defect is present.

What airbag equipment does the Honda FR-V have?

According to manufacturer information at the 2004 market launch, the entire Honda FR-V range featured front, side and curtain airbags. Which airbags are fitted in your vehicle depends on its production year and equipment.

In detail, the manufacturer information lists dual-stage front airbags, side airbags for the occupants of the front seats and curtain airbags spanning the full length of the windows. All six seats have three-point seatbelts. Additional airbags, such as knee airbags, are not mentioned in the information available to us; the owner's manual or equipment documents of your vehicle give the exact list.

To start the repair, have the fault memory read out. Disconnecting the battery and removing the control unit should be left to a specialist workshop. Then create a repair order online and send in the control unit. Processing usually takes 3–4 working days for checking, repairing and testing.

The repaired control unit returns with all vehicle data and is ready for use straight after reinstallation — no coding or programming is required.
