Airbag control unit with part number 00052228167

What does the airbag control unit 00052228167 do?

The airbag control unit 00052228167 coordinates the restraint system (SRS) in the Fiat vehicle. It evaluates the crash sensors and, in an accident, triggers the intended airbags and seatbelt pretensioners within milliseconds.

It also monitors the entire system constantly. If a fault is detected, it is stored in the fault memory and the airbag warning light comes on. After an accident the unit creates crash data and locks itself.

Why does the control unit 00052228167 fail?

The most common cause for the 00052228167 is stored crash data, even if no airbag deployed in the accident. Further causes are ageing, cold solder joints, moisture and voltage spikes.

In brief:

• crash data that cannot be removed with a normal diagnostic tool
• ageing electronic components
• cold solder joints
• moisture and corrosion on connectors
• voltage spikes, for example from a weak battery or jump-starting

Airbag24 deletes the crash data as part of the repair.

How can you tell that the 00052228167 is defective?

The airbag warning light, a fault message in the instrument cluster and a missing connection to the diagnostic tool indicate a defect in the 00052228167. A fault memory that cannot be cleared also points to one. In an emergency, the airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may then not deploy.

The signs in detail:

• airbag warning light stays on permanently or intermittently
• fault message in the instrument cluster
• diagnostic tool finds no connection to the control unit
• fault memory cannot be cleared

Do not leave the warning light alone; have it checked promptly.
