Airbag control unit with part number 00052085711

What does the airbag control unit 00052085711 do?

The airbag control unit 00052085711 coordinates the SRS restraint system of Chrysler and Fiat. It processes the signals from the crash sensors, determines within milliseconds in a crash which airbags and seatbelt pretensioners are triggered, and monitors the system continuously. If something is faulty, a message appears on the airbag warning light.

The unit controls the system and checks its components for as long as the vehicle is in operation.

After an accident it records crash data and locks itself.

Why does the control unit 00052085711 fail?

The most common cause is crash data that remain in the memory after an accident; this also applies when no airbag was triggered, and an ordinary diagnostic tool cannot erase them. Further causes are aged electronic components, cold solder joints, moisture and corrosion at plug connections, as well as voltage spikes, for example from a weak battery or a jump start.

Airbag24 erases the crash data as part of the repair. The other causes, by contrast, act on the electronics over the operating life of the vehicle.

Contacts that have been exposed to moisture can also fail.

How can you tell that the 00052085711 is defective?

The airbag warning light in the instrument cluster indicates the defect: it lights up permanently or only intermittently. An error message may also appear in the instrument cluster, the diagnostic tool may receive no connection to the control unit, or the fault memory cannot be cleared. In an emergency, airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may then not trigger.

If you see this warning, have the vehicle checked promptly. Driving style reveals nothing about the condition of the restraint system.
