MG GT airbag control unit repair(1)

What should I know about MG GT airbag control units?
The airbag control unit of the MG GT evaluates the crash sensors, triggers the airbags and belt tensioners and reports faults via the airbag warning light. After an accident it stores crash data and locks itself. Airbag24 repairs the control unit you send in.
The control unit monitors the entire restraint system, including the airbags, belt tensioners and the associated sensors. If it detects a fault, it stores a fault code in its memory. The airbag warning light on the dashboard shows the fault.
The repair includes erasing the crash data and testing the unit. The airbag is safety-relevant. Work on the airbag system should be left to a qualified workshop and not carried out yourself.
Which MG GT generations are there?
In our overview, the MG GT is listed as the 1st generation, built from 2015 to 2017. Assignment is based on the year of manufacture and the vehicle identification number (VIN).
The information comes from our vehicle overview. Deviations by market and equipment are possible, so during repair the unit itself is decisive, that is, the part number on its label.
- 1st generation (2015–2017) – build period of this generation according to our vehicle overview.
How do I identify my MG GT airbag control unit?
The part number on the label of the control unit determines the exact version. Together with the year of manufacture and the vehicle identification number (VIN), it shows which control unit belongs to your MG GT.
The part number is usually found on the housing of the control unit. It distinguishes versions that can differ in software or hardware. Whether the year of manufacture and equipment of your MG GT match this version is checked during the repair.
The fault memory lists faults as fault codes. Examples of codes listed for the MG GT in our overview are:
- B1932 – crash data stored in the control unit
- U0151 – communication with the airbag control unit lost
- B0090 – left front crash sensor faulty
A single code does not prove a defect, however. Only testing reveals the cause behind it.
Which airbag equipment does the MG GT have?
The airbags fitted as standard in an MG GT depend on the year of manufacture, the market and the trim level. Front, side and head airbags are generally standard equipment in new cars in industrialised countries.
The exact number and position of the airbags in a specific MG GT can be found in the owner's manual or the equipment documents for your vehicle. Whether additional modules such as knee airbags are fitted also depends on the equipment. A defective control unit affects the entire restraint system, not just individual modules.
The route to repair: have the fault memory read out. The workshop disconnects the battery and removes the control unit. You then create a repair order online and send the unit to Airbag24. Processing usually takes 3–4 working days: checking, repairing and testing.
The repaired control unit comes back with all vehicle data and is ready for use immediately after refitting — no coding or programming is necessary.
