Xpeng P5 airbag control unit repair⁽¹⁾

What should be considered with Xpeng P5 airbag control units?

The airbag control unit of the Xpeng P5 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 under its mail-in service.

The control unit is the central unit of the airbag system. In a crash, it determines which airbags and belt tensioners are triggered, and it continuously monitors the connected components. A fault can cause the airbag warning light to come on and impair the system in an emergency.

The airbag system is safety-relevant. For this reason, any work on the control unit should be left to a specialist workshop. The repair at Airbag24 concerns your own control unit, which you send to us.

Which Xpeng P5 generations are there?

The Xpeng P5 was built as the P5 series from 2022 to 2024. Further series are not known to us for this model.

The electric saloon comes from the Chinese manufacturer Xpeng. Sales started first in China; in Europe, the offer initially launched in only a few countries.

• P5 (2022–2024) – series of the electric saloon.

You can tell whether your vehicle belongs to this series from its year of manufacture and its vehicle identification number (VIN).

How do I identify my Xpeng P5 airbag control unit?

The part number on the label of the control unit determines the exact version. The year of manufacture and the equipment of your vehicle also matter, because they show which control unit belongs to your car.

The part number is usually found on the housing or label of the control unit. Note it down together with the vehicle identification number (VIN) before you create the repair order. This allows your case to be assigned clearly.

The fault memory helps to narrow down the cause. As examples for this model, we list the codes U0151 (communication with the airbag control unit lost), B0001 (driver airbag stage 1: ignition circuit control disturbed) and B0002 (driver airbag stage 2: ignition circuit control disturbed). A single code does not prove a defect in the control unit, however.

What airbag equipment does the Xpeng P5 have?

The airbag equipment of the Xpeng P5 depends on the market and trim level. Front and side airbags are usually standard equipment in passenger cars today; which airbags your vehicle has is stated in its documentation.

The airbag control unit coordinates all airbags of the vehicle. The more modules are installed, the more sensors and control logic the unit has to handle. For this reason, every repair should make clear which equipment the unit was built for.

If the airbag system shows a fault, have the fault memory read out. Afterwards a specialist workshop disconnects the battery and removes the control unit. You then create a repair order online and send the control unit to Airbag24, well packed. Processing usually takes 3–4 working days: inspection, repair 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.
