Jeep Wagoneer S airbag control unit repair⁽¹⁾

What should be considered with Jeep Wagoneer S airbag control units?

The airbag control unit in the Jeep Wagoneer S evaluates the crash sensors and triggers the airbags as well as the belt tensioner. After a crash it stores crash data and locks itself. Airbag24 repairs the submitted control unit and erases the crash data.

In a crash, the control unit decides whether and when the airbags deploy. During normal operation it monitors the entire system and reports faults via the airbag warning light. Whether a submitted unit can be repaired is shown by the inspection after it arrives.

The airbag system is safety-critical. Work on it should therefore be left to a specialist workshop and not carried out yourself.

Which Jeep Wagoneer S generations are there?

Only one generation is currently recorded for the Jeep Wagoneer S: the 1st generation, built since 2024. It is therefore the only series listed for this model.

The generation alone does not say how the control unit is built in detail. Whether your vehicle belongs to it can be checked using the year of manufacture and the vehicle identification number (VIN), which is listed in the vehicle documents.

• 1st generation (since 2024): the first battery-electric SUV from the Jeep brand.

How do I identify my Jeep Wagoneer S airbag control unit?

The part number on the label of the control unit determines the exact version. The year of manufacture and the equipment of your vehicle should also be checked.

The following part numbers are known for the Jeep Wagoneer S. This list does not claim to be complete.

• 68762308AA

A fault code alone does not prove a defect. Examples from the fault memory are B1B02 (driver airbag, ignition squib 1, circuit open) and U0151 (communication with the occupant restraint control unit lost). Only the inspection clarifies the cause. Before sending, note the part number and year of manufacture; this speeds up the assignment.

Which airbag equipment does the Jeep Wagoneer S have?

According to equipment details from a dealer, the Limited trim of the Jeep Wagoneer S has front, side, head and knee airbags. A rear side airbag is also included.

In detail, the dealer lists two front airbags, two front side airbags in the seats, head airbags (curtain airbags) for both rows of seats, a rear side airbag and a driver knee airbag. No reliable information is available for other trim levels, so the equipment of your own vehicle applies. Please check it before sending the unit.

To have it repaired, proceed as follows: have the fault memory read out at a specialist workshop. There the battery is disconnected and the control unit is removed. Then create a repair order online and send in the unit. Processing usually takes 3–4 working days (inspection, repair, testing).

The repaired control unit returns with all vehicle data and is ready for use immediately after reinstallation; no coding or programming is needed.
