Xpeng X9 airbag control unit repair⁽¹⁾

What should be noted about Xpeng X9 airbag control units?

The airbag control unit of the Xpeng X9 evaluates the crash sensors, triggers the airbags and belt tensioners in an emergency and monitors the entire system. If it detects a fault, the airbag warning light comes on. After an accident, the control unit stores crash data and locks itself.

The Xpeng X9 is an electric van that has been offered in Germany since 2026. A defective control unit can impair the function of the entire airbag system. It should therefore be checked after a deployment or an accident, and the crash data must be reliably erased.

Airbag24 repairs the control unit you send in, which is your own unit, at our workshop in Berlin. The crash data is erased, and the unit is inspected, repaired and tested.

Which Xpeng X9 generations are there?

The Xpeng X9 is currently recorded as one series that has been built since 2026. Production of this series is still ongoing.

The X9 series forms the basis for assigning control units in this guide. Whether a vehicle belongs to this series can be recognised from its model year and its vehicle identification number (VIN).

• X9 (since 2026, still in production) – current series of the Xpeng X9, for which Airbag24 repairs the airbag control units.

How do I identify my Xpeng X9 airbag control unit?

The part number on the label of the control unit determines the exact version. The model year and equipment of your Xpeng X9 should also be taken into account, as they narrow down the correct variant.

Note the part number before removal and have the vehicle identification number (VIN) ready. Both help to match the correct unit and the right repair.

The fault memory can provide clues, for example code U0151 (communication with the airbag control unit lost) or B0001 (driver airbag stage 1: ignition circuit control disturbed). A single fault code does not prove a defect, however. It should be assessed by a specialist workshop.

Which airbag equipment does the Xpeng X9 have?

According to the manufacturer and the ADAC catalogue, the Xpeng X9 comes with nine airbags as standard. These include front, side and head airbags as well as curtain airbags covering all three rows of seats.

The exact equipment depends on the market and the specific variant. Please check which airbags are fitted in your vehicle before requesting a repair.

The airbag control unit coordinates the triggering of these airbags and the belt tensioners. If it fails, the entire protection system is affected. The repair at Airbag24 runs as follows: have the fault memory read out, disconnect the battery and remove the control unit. Then create a repair order online and send in the unit.

Processing usually takes 3–4 working days and covers checking, repairing and testing. Airbag systems are safety-relevant. If you are unsure about the removal, have a specialist workshop carry it out.

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