Omoda 5 airbag control unit repair⁽¹⁾

What should be noted about Omoda 5 airbag control units?

The airbag control unit of the Omoda 5 evaluates the crash sensors, triggers the airbags and belt tensioners, and monitors the entire restraint system. If it detects a fault, the airbag warning light on the dashboard illuminates. Airbag24 repairs your own control unit that you send in.

After an accident, the control unit stores crash data and locks itself. Erasing the crash data is part of the repair at Airbag24.

Airbags are safety-relevant. Work on the airbag system should only be carried out by specialist businesses. If you are unsure, have the control unit removed by a workshop.

Which Omoda 5 generations are there?

The Omoda 5 is built in the C5 series. It has been on sale since 2023 and is still in production.

The series is listed under the code C5. For owners, it matters most that the build date of their vehicle falls within this period, because control units can differ within a series.

• C5 (since 2023) – the current series of the Omoda 5, which is still being built.

How do I identify my Omoda 5 airbag control unit?

The part number on the label of the control unit determines the exact version. Together with the build year and equipment of your Omoda 5, it allows the right unit to be identified clearly.

Control units can differ even within a series, which is why the exact version has to be checked before every repair.

This part number is recorded for the Omoda 5 C5 series, with no claim to completeness:

• 407000271AA

Examples of fault codes from the fault memory are B127F47 (crash recording locked), B127247 (crash on the left side recorded), U0151 (communication with the restraint control unit lost) and B0001 (driver front airbag stage 1, ignition circuit open). A single code alone does not prove a defect. Only testing shows whether the control unit is actually affected.

What airbag equipment does the Omoda 5 have?

According to manufacturer information and test reports, the Omoda 5 is equipped with front, side and head airbags (curtain airbags). The exact number depends on market, model year and trim level and is stated differently across sources.

The equipment information lists front airbags for driver and front passenger, side airbags and head airbags in the form of curtain airbags. Several sources also name a centre airbag, which gives extra protection to the front seat occupants in a side impact.

The airbag control unit coordinates all these modules. Which equipment is actually fitted in your vehicle is shown by the vehicle documents and the equipment list.

The route to repair: first have the fault memory read out. Disconnect the battery before removing the control unit. Then create a repair order online and send in the unit. Processing usually takes 3–4 working days and covers checking, repairing and testing.

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