The airbag technology used in Infiniti Technology varies depending on the model year. Airbag24 professionally repairs control units of all Infiniti Technology generations with original functionality and a 2-year warranty.
Infiniti, a premium Nissan brand, has consistently placed emphasis on high safety standards since its launch in the late 1980s. Production of airbag control units (SRS modules) for Infiniti vehicles began around 1997 and continues to this day. These control units are the central element of the passive safety system and are responsible for the correct deployment of the airbags in the event of an accident. Every generation of Infiniti vehicles, whether sedan, SUV, or coupe, is equipped with specifically developed SRS modules that are optimally tailored to the respective vehicle model.
Airbag technology in Infiniti vehicles has continuously evolved over the years. While early models already featured reliable basic airbag systems, newer generations have been equipped with the INFINITI Advanced Air Bag System (AABS). This advanced system includes dual stages for the front airbags, which can adjust their deployment strength based on the severity of the impact. The integration of sensors that take into account aspects such as the crash zone, seat belt status, and the weight of the front passenger further optimizes the protective effect and is crucial for the correct function of the airbags in a collision.
Infiniti Technology has been produced in several generations, each using different airbag control units. The development of the safety system reflects technological advances from approximately 1997 to the present.
Infiniti vehicles that use the Technology airbag control units span a wide range of models from various model years. From the late 1990s to the present, numerous generations and facelifts have been implemented, with each iteration bringing improvements to the vehicle architecture and safety systems. The airbag control units have always been adapted to the specific requirements and complexity of the airbag systems installed in each model generation.
Examples of this include models like the Infiniti Q70 (model years 2014-2019), which uses appropriately configured airbag systems in its various trim levels. Popular SUV models like the QX60 and QX70, as well as sporty sedans like the Q60, also feature sophisticated airbag control units. The optional Infiniti Technology Package, available since the 2010s, complements these passive safety systems with a range of active driver assistance systems that contribute to preventive accidents. Each of these vehicle generations requires specific expertise in repairing and resetting the airbag control unit to restore full functionality.
Infiniti Technology airbag control units can be uniquely identified by part number, model year, and vehicle identification number. Each generation uses specific control unit variants for optimal compatibility.
Correctly identifying an Infiniti airbag control unit is essential for a professional repair. Each control unit is assigned a unique part number, often found on a sticker directly on the module. This number provides information about the specific model, version, and sometimes even the production period of the control unit. In addition, the exact year of manufacture of the Infiniti vehicle and the vehicle identification number (VIN) are important criteria for precise identification.
Because Infiniti has released a variety of models and facelifts over the years, there are correspondingly many variants of airbag control units. Even within a model series, the modules can vary depending on the trim level or market. A specialized repair service provider can use these identification features to not only identify the correct control unit, but also ensure that plug-and-play functionality is maintained after resetting or repairing the defective module. In most cases, no further programming is required in the vehicle, significantly simplifying the process for the vehicle owner.
The airbag configuration of the Infiniti Technology varies depending on the model year and trim level. While early models use basic airbag systems, newer generations feature enhanced safety packages with additional airbag modules.
All modern Infiniti models come standard with a comprehensive airbag system, the aforementioned INFINITI Advanced Air Bag System (AABS). This system typically offers front airbags for the driver and front passenger, which can deploy in dual stages to optimize occupant protection in different impact severities. Sensors that detect seat belt use and the presence and weight of the front passenger further contribute to intelligent control of airbag deployment.
In addition to the basic equipment, most newer Infiniti models, especially those from around 2017/2019, also come standard with side airbags and full-length curtain airbags. These significantly enhance protection in side impacts and rollovers. The optional Infiniti Technology Package, available as an additional package, integrates additional active safety technologies such as Lane Departure Warning, Distance Control Assist, and other collision avoidance systems. Although these technologies are not directly airbags, they work closely with the vehicle's overall safety system to minimize the risk of a crash and thus reduce the need for airbag deployment.
Infiniti's target audience are premium customers who value driving comfort, high levels of safety, and state-of-the-art technology. Accordingly, the installed airbag systems and associated control units are state-of-the-art and offer comprehensive protection in a variety of driving situations. Having defective airbag control units professionally repaired represents a cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative to purchasing new ones, especially since the repaired modules are usually plug-and-play and ready for use again, eliminating the need for complex reprogramming.
