Jaecoo airbag control unit repair⁽³⁾

What should I consider with Jaecoo airbag control units?

The Jaecoo airbag control unit is a safety-relevant component that should be checked by a specialist workshop after an accident or when the airbag warning light stays on. Jaecoo is a young brand that has only been offered in Europe since 2025.

Jaecoo belongs to the Chinese manufacturer Chery and is regarded as a sister brand of Omoda. The vehicles have not been on the European market for long. A fault in the airbag control unit can still occur, for example after an accident in which crash data is stored in the unit and the system locks itself.

The control unit evaluates the signals from the sensors in the vehicle and decides on deploying the airbags in an emergency. Because it is safety-relevant, testing and repair belong in the hands of a specialist workshop. We repair airbag control units by mail-in service in our workshop in Berlin: you have the unit removed, send it in well packed, and we test it, erase the crash data and fix the fault.

Which Jaecoo models are available?

Jaecoo currently offers three SUV models in Europe: the Jaecoo 5, Jaecoo 7 and Jaecoo 8. Which series fits your vehicle depends on the model and year of manufacture.

• Jaecoo 5
• Jaecoo 7
• Jaecoo 8

The Jaecoo 7 was the brand's first model in Europe. The Jaecoo 5 followed with its market launch in autumn 2025, and the Jaecoo 8 was added in 2026. All three are SUVs.

The models listed above have been set up in the shop together with their series. Select your model and the matching series to find the right control unit for the repair.

How do I identify my Jaecoo airbag control unit?

You can identify Jaecoo airbag control units by the part number on the unit's label. Together with the model, year of manufacture and vehicle identification number (VIN), this determines the correct variant unambiguously.

The control unit is located in the vehicle interior and is connected to the wiring harness of the airbag system. The exact installation location depends on the model. Removal and refitting should be carried out by a specialist workshop, because the airbag system must not be worked on by yourself.

The label on the unit shows the part number, which we use to assign the correct unit. Typical signs of a fault are a permanently lit airbag warning light, a stored error code or an accident with stored crash data.

What airbag equipment does Jaecoo have?

The airbag equipment of a Jaecoo depends on the model, year of manufacture and trim level. Front, side and curtain airbags are common in modern vehicles of this class, and the airbag control unit monitors them together.

The exact scope differs depending on the model, year of manufacture and market. Binding information can be found in your vehicle's owner's manual or from the manufacturer. For the repair, the part number of the control unit is what matters most, not the number of airbags fitted.

Regardless of the equipment, an illuminated airbag warning light must not be ignored, because it indicates that the system may not deploy in an emergency. Have the cause clarified in a specialist workshop.
