Airbag control unit with part number 00052085712

What does the airbag control unit 00052085712 do?

As the control centre of the restraint system (SRS) in Chrysler and Fiat, the airbag control unit 00052085712 is responsible for triggering the airbags and seatbelt pretensioners. It detects a crash via the sensors within milliseconds and monitors the system constantly; faults appear on the airbag warning light.

During operation the unit records the state of the entire system and stores faults in memory.

After a crash the unit stores crash data, and it then locks itself. The lock ends only with the repair.

Why does the control unit 00052085712 fail?

Crash data from an earlier accident is the most common cause with 00052085712, even if no airbag has fired. In addition, aged electronics, cold solder joints, moisture and corrosion on plug connections, and voltage spikes come into consideration.

A standard diagnostic tool cannot erase this crash data. At Airbag24 it is erased during the repair.

The other points mainly concern the electronics and their connections. A plug contact with corrosion or a cold solder joint produces symptoms similar to an aged component, so a test is necessary.

How can you tell that the 00052085712 is defective?

A defect on the 00052085712 becomes apparent through an airbag warning light that lights up permanently or intermittently, a fault message in the instrument cluster, a lack of contact with the diagnostic tool, or a fault memory that cannot be erased. In an emergency, airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may then not trigger.

These signs appear singly or together:

• Airbag warning light in the instrument cluster
• Fault message in the display
• No contact with the control unit
• Fault memory cannot be cleared

The light shows the condition while driving and must therefore be taken seriously.
