Airbag control unit with part number 00052226966

What does the airbag control unit 00052226966 do?

The airbag control unit 00052226966 is the evaluation unit of the restraint system (SRS) for Chrysler and Fiat. It processes the signals from the crash sensors, decides in an accident within milliseconds on airbags and seatbelt pretensioners, and monitors the system continuously.

The unit stores detected faults in the fault memory. The display is shown by the airbag warning light.

After an accident it stores crash data and locks itself.

Why does the control unit 00052226966 fail?

Stored crash data is the most common cause, even if no airbag was triggered. A normal diagnostic tool does not make it disappear. Aged components, cold solder joints, moisture and corrosion at plug connections, and voltage spikes are also possible causes.

The crash data remains in the control unit after the accident. Airbag24 erases it as part of the repair.

Aged electronics and corrosion develop over years under the influence of heat, vibration and moisture. Cold solder joints also appear over time, while voltage spikes load the electronics briefly.

How can you tell that the 00052226966 is defective?

A defect shows first on the airbag warning light in the instrument cluster, which lights up permanently or intermittently. In addition there is a fault message, no connection to the diagnostic tool, and a fault memory that cannot be cleared. In an emergency, airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may then fail to trigger.

The light indicates that the system has detected a fault. Anyone who sees it should have the fault memory read out before further steps follow.

A connection error during read-out can have various causes. Only the query of the fault memory shows the finding.

For the same vehicles, we also repair control units with the part numbers 00052027042, 00052055639, 00052055640, 00052055641, 00052058730, 00052078052.

How does the repair of the 00052226966 work?

First have the fault memory read out and enclose the log. Then disconnect the battery, and afterwards remove the control unit. Finally, create a repair order online and send in the well-packed unit.

On the test bench, Airbag24 examines the unit, repairs defective components, erases the crash data and checks the function one last time. Then your own unit goes back to you. The processing takes 3–4 working days as a rule.

Our repairs come with 2 years' statutory liability for defects.

The repaired control unit comes back with all vehicle data and is ready for use as soon as it is refitted — no coding or programming is required.

How does the control unit 00052226966 get to Airbag24?

One parcel is enough; alternatively you book a UPS collection for an extra charge. After the repair, UPS also handles the return to you.

The printed repair order goes into the parcel, and the control unit is packed shockproof.
