Xpeng G6 airbag control unit repair⁽¹⁾

What should I pay attention to with Xpeng G6 airbag control units?

The airbag control unit in the Xpeng G6 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 your own control unit.

The control unit is the central component of the airbag system in the Xpeng G6. It detects an impact from the sensor signals, decides on the triggering of the airbags and belt tensioners, and monitors the system during operation. If a fault is detected, the airbag warning light comes on in the vehicle.

After an accident, the control unit stores crash data and locks itself. An airbag system with a fault may not trigger as intended in an emergency, so the check belongs in a specialist workshop. Airbag24 repairs the submitted control unit, including erasing the crash data. Not every fault is repairable; whether a repair is possible only becomes clear once the unit has been examined in our workshop in Berlin.

Which Xpeng G6 generations are there?

The Xpeng G6 has been built as a single model series since 2024 and is still in production. Within the series, software and hardware versions as well as equipment can vary by model year and market.

The G6 is an electric SUV in coupé style. For the repair of the airbag control unit, the exact model year and the installed unit matter most, because updates during the production period can bring changes to electronics and software.

• G6 (from 2024) – current, still ongoing model series

How do I identify my Xpeng G6 airbag control unit?

The part number on the label of the control unit determines the exact version. Together with the model year and equipment of your Xpeng G6, it determines the correct assignment.

The part number is the most important reference point because it is printed directly on the unit. Known part numbers for this model (not necessarily complete):

• 0 285 021 183
• 6590002FA1

The listed supplier is Bosch. Examples of fault codes from this area are U0151 for lost communication with the airbag control unit, B0001 and B0002 for the driver airbag stage 1 and stage 2 respectively, where the ignition circuit control is disturbed, and B16201B for excessive resistance in the ignition circuit of the front driver airbag. A fault code alone, however, does not prove a defect in the control unit; the cause must be checked.

What airbag equipment does the Xpeng G6 have?

The Xpeng G6 is fitted with front, side and head airbags and, according to crash-test data, also with chest and pelvis airbags on the front seats. The exact number of airbags depends on equipment and model year and should be checked on the vehicle itself.

According to the crash-test assessment, the equipment includes driver and front passenger airbags, side airbags with chest and pelvis protection for the front seats, and head airbags that extend from front to rear. Sources give different figures for the total, so we do not state a fixed number here.

For the Xpeng G6 airbag control unit repair, the process is as follows: your workshop reads out the fault memory, disconnects the battery and carefully removes the control unit. You then create a repair order online and send the control unit to Airbag24. We check, repair and test the unit; processing usually takes 3–4 working days. The repaired control unit returns with all vehicle data and is ready for use immediately after refitting — no coding or programming is necessary.
