Leapmotor B05 airbag control unit repair⁽¹⁾

What should be considered with Leapmotor B05 airbag control units?

The airbag control unit of the Leapmotor B05 evaluates the crash sensors, triggers the airbags and belt tensioners, and monitors the restraint system. After an accident, it stores crash data and locks itself. A defective control unit should therefore only be checked and repaired by a specialist workshop.

The control unit is the central component of the airbag system. If it detects a fault, the airbag warning light comes on. Such a fault can impair the function of the entire system, so you should not ignore the warning light.

Airbag24 repairs the control unit of your Leapmotor B05 that you send in, at its workshop in Berlin. The crash data is erased, and the unit is checked for faults, repaired and tested.

Which Leapmotor B05 generations are there?

Only one model series is currently recorded for the Leapmotor B05: the B05, which has been built since 2026. No other generations are on record for this model.

The Leapmotor B05 is a battery-electric liftback saloon in the compact class.

• B05 (since 2026) – current model series, available in Europe since its market launch in spring 2026.

Within a model series, the electronics can differ depending on trim level and market. Which version is fitted in your vehicle follows from the vehicle identification number (VIN) and the part number of the control unit.

How do I identify my Leapmotor B05 airbag control unit?

The Leapmotor B05 airbag control unit can be identified by the part number on its label. The part number determines the exact version, so the year of manufacture and equipment of your vehicle must also be taken into account. The vehicle identification number (VIN) enables an unambiguous assignment.

The label is located on the unit itself. Leave dismantling to a specialist workshop, as you should not work on the airbag system yourself.

An error code alone does not prove a fault in the control unit. It only shows that the system has reported a deviation; a professional inspection determines the cause.

What airbag equipment does the Leapmotor B05 have?

According to the information published at the market launch in Europe, the Leapmotor B05 comes with seven airbags as standard, including front, side, curtain and centre airbags. Which version your vehicle has can be checked using the VIN.

The control unit controls all seven airbags. The vehicle's driver assistance systems can help to avoid accidents, but they do not replace the restraint system.

To arrange a repair, have the fault memory read out at a specialist workshop. There the battery is disconnected and the control unit is removed. You then create a repair order online with Airbag24 and send in the unit. Processing usually takes 3–4 working days (checking, repairing, testing).

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