MG Cyberster airbag control unit repair⁽¹⁾

What should I know about MG Cyberster airbag control units?

The airbag control unit in the MG Cyberster evaluates the crash sensors, triggers the airbags and belt pretensioners, and monitors the entire restraint system. If the system detects a fault, the airbag warning lamp lights up. After an accident, the control unit stores crash data and locks itself.

The airbag system is safety-relevant. Have it checked only by a specialist workshop and do not work on it yourself. A defective control unit can impair the function of the entire airbag system.

Airbag24 repairs the control unit you send in. Whether a particular unit can be repaired only becomes clear after it has been examined. The repair is carried out at our workshop in Berlin.

What MG Cyberster generations are there?

The MG Cyberster is currently built in one generation: the 1st generation, since 2024. One further generation is not known at present.

The MG Cyberster is a battery-electric two-seater roadster from the MG brand, which is also offered in Europe. The model range has been built since 2024.

Within the model range, equipment and control unit versions can differ depending on model year and specification. Please therefore state the model year and specification of your vehicle when you request a repair.

• 1st generation (since 2024) – current model range of the battery-electric two-seater roadster, production is still ongoing.

How do I identify my MG Cyberster airbag control unit?

The part number on the label of the control unit determines the exact specification. Together with the model year and equipment of your MG Cyberster, it helps to assign the right unit.

The label is attached to the housing of the control unit. Note down the part number, model year and vehicle identification number (VIN) of your vehicle before you request a repair.

Examples of fault codes for the MG Cyberster are B1932 (crash data stored), U0151 (communication with the airbag control unit lost), B0001 (ignition circuit of the driver front airbag, stage 1, faulty) and B0090 (left front crash sensor faulty). However, a single code does not prove a defect. Only the examination shows where the cause lies.

What airbag equipment does the MG Cyberster have?

The MG Cyberster has front airbags for driver and front passenger. Further airbags, such as side or head airbags, are stated differently depending on market and specification.

The control unit manages all airbags and belt pretensioners installed in the vehicle. Whether side, head or knee airbags are also fitted cannot be reliably derived from the available information.

The vehicle's equipment list or the vehicle documentation is authoritative. Please check these details in advance before you send in a control unit.

This is how the repair works: first have the fault memory read out. Then disconnect the battery and remove the control unit. Create a repair order online and send the unit in. Processing usually takes 3–4 working days: checking, repairing and testing.
