Volvo ES90 airbag control unit repair(1)
1 product
What should be considered for Volvo ES90 airbag control units?
The airbag control unit in the Volvo ES90 evaluates the crash sensors and triggers the airbags and seat belt pretensioners in a collision. It also monitors the entire airbag system and reports faults via the airbag warning light.
After a crash, the control unit stores crash data and locks itself. The airbag warning light indicates that the system has detected a fault.
The airbag system is safety-critical. Testing and repair should therefore be carried out by a specialist workshop. Airbag24 repairs the control unit you send in. The repair takes place in our workshop in Berlin, where we delete the crash data and check the unit for faults.
Which Volvo ES90 generations are there?
The Volvo ES90 is currently recorded in one series: Series 1, built since 2025. Within this series, versions can differ depending on model year and equipment.
- Series 1 (since 2025) – the current production series of the Volvo ES90, which is still being built.
The Volvo ES90 is a large, fully electric saloon that was unveiled in 2025. For matching a control unit, the model year, part number and equipment of the vehicle are the key details.
How do I identify my Volvo ES90 airbag control unit?
The part number on the control unit's label determines the exact version. Together with the model year and the vehicle identification number (VIN), the correct unit can be matched reliably.
The control unit usually carries a label with the part number. Please have this information ready, together with the model year of your vehicle, when you request a repair.
The model year and equipment complement the part number and should be taken into account when matching the unit. Examples of fault codes in the Volvo ES90 airbag system are SRS-0115 (driver airbag ignition circuit open or short-circuited), SRS-0005 (supply voltage too low) and U0151-00 (data bus: control unit does not respond). A single fault code does not prove a defect in the control unit; only testing in the workshop reveals the cause.
What airbag equipment does the Volvo ES90 have?
According to the manufacturer, the Plus trim of the Volvo ES90 includes as standard driver and front passenger airbags, a driver knee airbag, airbags in the front seats and full-length curtain airbags. The exact equipment depends on trim level and market.
According to the manufacturer, a roof-line airbag deploys within milliseconds and protects the heads of the outboard occupants at the front and rear. A side-impact protection system spreads crash forces across the body and limits intrusion into the cabin.
The front passenger airbag can be switched off for rearward-facing child seats. The airbags are controlled by the airbag control unit, so a fault in this component affects the entire restraint system.
If the airbag warning light is on or the control unit has locked after an accident, first have the fault memory read in a specialist workshop. There the battery is disconnected and the control unit removed. Then create a repair order online and send the unit to us. Processing usually takes 3–4 working days: we check the unit, repair it and test it.
The repaired control unit returns with all vehicle data and is ready for use as soon as it is refitted — coding or programming is not necessary.
