Toyota Proace Max airbag control unit repair⁽¹⁾

What should I know about Toyota Proace Max airbag control units?

The airbag control unit in the Toyota Proace Max evaluates the crash sensors, triggers the airbags and seat belt pretensioners, and monitors the entire airbag system. If it detects a fault, the airbag warning light comes on. Airbag24 repairs your submitted control unit at its workshop in Berlin.

The Toyota Proace Max is a van from the Toyota Professional range. Depending on wheelbase, length and drivetrain, the configuration can differ, so it is worth looking closely at the control unit itself. After an accident, the control unit stores crash data and locks itself. Airbag24 checks the submitted unit for faults, erases the crash data and carries out the repair where a defect is present. The airbag system is safety-relevant, so only specialist workshops should work on it.

Which Toyota Proace Max generations are there?

The Toyota Proace Max is currently listed in the Max series, built since 2024. This is the current generation of the model.

Toyota introduced the Proace Max in Europe in September 2024. The series includes vehicles with battery-electric and diesel drivetrains, available in several wheelbases and lengths.

• Max (since 2024) – current series with electric and diesel drivetrains.

Model year and equipment matter for classifying your vehicle. The part number of the control unit is also helpful.

How do I identify my Toyota Proace Max airbag control unit?

The part number on the label of the control unit determines the exact version. Model year and equipment of the vehicle also help with the assignment.

Read the part number from the removed control unit and give it when you request a repair. This allows the version to be assigned before the repair begins.

The fault memory may contain fault codes that point to a defect. Examples for the Toyota Proace Max are B1000 (internal fault in the airbag control unit), U0151 (communication with the airbag control unit lost) and B1800 (driver airbag firing circuit faulty). A single code, however, does not prove a defect; it must be checked.

Which airbag equipment does the Toyota Proace Max have?

The Toyota Proace Max is listed with airbags for driver and front passenger in its equipment information. Whether further airbags such as side or head airbags are fitted depends on trim level and market.

Equipment differs by variant and market. Which side or head airbags are fitted in your vehicle should be checked before you request a repair.

The airbag control unit is the central unit that triggers the airbags in a collision. A defective unit can impair the function of the entire system, so proper repair is important.

The route to repair: a specialist workshop reads out the fault memory, disconnects the battery and removes the control unit. You then create a repair order online and send the control unit to Airbag24. Processing usually takes 3–4 working days and covers checking, repairing and testing.

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