What should be noted about Hyundai Inster airbag control units?
The airbag control unit in the Hyundai Inster evaluates the signals from the crash sensors, triggers the airbags and belt pretensioners, and monitors the entire restraint system. If it detects a fault, the airbag warning light on the dashboard comes on. Airbag24 repairs the control unit you send in.
After an accident, the control unit stores crash data and locks itself. At Airbag24, the crash data is erased and the unit is checked for internal faults. As the airbag is safety-relevant, work on the system should only be carried out by a specialist workshop.
Whether a unit can be repaired only becomes clear once it has been checked in our workshop in Berlin. There, the control unit is checked, repaired and tested before it is returned.
Which Hyundai Inster generations are there?
The Hyundai Inster is built in the AX1 model series, which has been in production since 2024. The series has not been discontinued, and vehicles from 2024 onwards belong to it.
To establish whether your vehicle belongs to this series, check the year of manufacture and the vehicle identification number (VIN).

How do I identify my Hyundai Inster airbag control unit?
The part number on the label of the control unit determines the exact version. In addition, the year of manufacture and the equipment of your vehicle should be stated so that the assignment is clear.
Have the vehicle identification number (VIN) and the year of manufacture ready for your enquiry. With this information, the matching version can be assigned before the unit is sent in.
Examples of fault codes are B1620 (internal fault in the airbag control unit), B1651 (crash stored: driver airbag front triggered) and B1101 (control unit supply voltage too high). However, a single fault code does not prove a defect. Only testing shows whether the control unit is affected.
Which airbag equipment does the Hyundai Inster have?
According to the manufacturer, the Hyundai Inster comes as standard with seven airbags for the European market. These include front airbags, front side airbags, side curtain airbags and a front centre airbag.
The exact equipment depends on the version and market. Which airbags are fitted to your vehicle is shown in the equipment list of your purchase contract or vehicle documentation.
The more airbags a vehicle has, the more sensors and triggers the control unit evaluates. For this reason, the fault diagnosis should be carried out completely before further steps are decided.
The route to repair: first have the fault memory read out. Then disconnect the battery before removing the control unit. If in doubt, a specialist workshop should carry out the removal. Next, create a repair order online and send in the unit. Processing usually takes 3–4 working days: checking, repairing and testing.
The repaired control unit comes back with all vehicle data and is ready for use immediately after refitting — no coding or programming is required.
