Honda Logo airbag control unit repair⁽¹⁾

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

The airbag control unit (SRS control unit) in the Honda Logo evaluates the crash sensors, triggers the airbags and seat belt pretensioners, and monitors the entire restraint system. If it detects a fault, the airbag warning light comes on.

Typical causes of a fault are an accident involving deployment, ageing of the electronics, overvoltage, for example from battery problems, and moisture on connectors and contacts. Communication faults in the vehicle network can also activate the airbag warning light.

After an accident, the control unit stores crash data and locks itself. Airbag24 repairs your own control unit once it has been sent in and erases the crash data in the process. Work on the airbag system is safety-critical and belongs in the hands of a specialist workshop.

Which Honda Logo generations are there?

Airbag24 lists the Honda Logo under the GA3 series, built from 1996 to 2001. Within this production period, the equipment varies by model year and trim level.

• GA3 (1996–2001) – small car that received a model update around 2000, which changed the front airbag equipment

The Honda Logo is a small car. Whether your vehicle was built before or after this model update can be seen from the model year, which is the main reference for assessing the state of the airbag system.

How do I identify my Honda Logo 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 Honda Logo, it shows whether the unit matches your vehicle.

Besides the part number, the exact year of manufacture and the vehicle identification number (VIN) are important details. They help with the assignment, because the version can change within the production period.

For this model, the fault codes B1000 (SRS control unit malfunction), 5-1 (collision detected, crash data stored) and U0151 (communication with the restraint system control unit lost) are recorded, among others. A single fault code, however, does not prove a defect in the control unit.

What airbag equipment does the Honda Logo have?

The Honda Logo was fitted as standard with a driver airbag. A front passenger airbag was only available as an option on some trim levels in the early production period; after the model update around 2000, two front airbags were part of the standard equipment according to the available information.

Whether side or head airbags are fitted depends on the model year and equipment. The owner's manual of your vehicle shows which airbags are installed.

The route to repair: first have the fault memory read. A specialist workshop then disconnects the battery and removes the control unit. You create a repair order online and send the removed unit, packed securely, to Airbag24. Processing usually takes 3–4 working days for checking, repair and testing.

The repaired control unit comes back with all vehicle data and is ready for use as soon as it is refitted — no coding or programming is required.
