Volvo EX60 airbag control unit repair⁽¹⁾

What should be considered for Volvo EX60 airbag control units?

The airbag control unit of the Volvo EX60 evaluates the crash sensors, triggers the airbags and belt tensioners, and monitors the restraint system. If the system detects a fault, the airbag warning light comes on. Airbag24 repairs your own control unit that you send in.

After an accident, the control unit stores crash data and locks itself. The repair therefore includes erasing the crash data, checking the unit and testing it afterwards.

The airbag system is safety-relevant. Diagnosis and repair should therefore be carried out by a specialist workshop, and you should not work on the airbag system yourself. A fault should be checked promptly, as it can impair the function of the entire airbag system.

Which Volvo EX60 generations are there?

For the Volvo EX60, only Serie 1 is currently known, built since 2026. Serie 1 is the current model of the Volvo EX60.

• Serie 1 (since 2026) – the current and so far only recorded series of the Volvo EX60.

Series production began in spring 2026 at Volvo's Torslanda plant in Sweden. Within the series, variants differ in drivetrain, battery and equipment.

Part number, year of manufacture and vehicle identification number (VIN) therefore help to assign the control unit to the vehicle.

How do I identify my Volvo EX60 airbag control unit?

The part number on the label of the control unit determines the exact version. In addition, the year of manufacture and equipment of your Volvo EX60 should be compared with the vehicle identification number (VIN).

The part number is usually found on the unit itself. It helps to determine the version that belongs to your vehicle.

Fault codes from the fault memory help to narrow down the cause. Examples for the Volvo EX60 are SRS-0115 (driver airbag squib circuit open or short circuit), SRS-0121 (passenger airbag squib circuit open or short circuit) and U0151-00 (data bus: SRS control unit does not respond). However, a single code does not prove a defect in the control unit. Only testing shows whether the control unit is the cause.

What airbag equipment does the Volvo EX60 have?

The Volvo EX60 has an airbag system that works together with the belt system in an accident. Which airbags are fitted in your version depends on the market and trim level and is stated in the manufacturer documentation for your vehicle.

According to Volvo, the EX60 introduces a new multi-adaptive safety belt. It works together with the airbags, occupant detection and driver assistance systems.

In a crash, the control unit coordinates the triggering of the airbags and belt tensioners. The more systems are involved in the restraint system, the more important a fully functional control unit becomes.

The route to repair takes five steps:

• Have the fault memory read by a specialist workshop.
• Disconnect the battery before removal.
• Have the control unit removed by a specialist workshop.
• Create a repair order online.
• Send the control unit, well packed, to Airbag24.

Processing usually takes 3–4 working days: we check the control unit, repair it and test it. The repaired control unit returns with all vehicle data and is ready for use immediately after reinstallation — no coding or programming is required.
