Airbag control unit with part number 13356384

What does the airbag control unit 13356384 do?

The airbag control unit 13356384 coordinates the restraint system (SRS) for Opel. In an accident it evaluates the crash sensors and determines within milliseconds which airbags and seatbelt pretensioners are triggered.

At the same time it monitors the system continuously. Every fault detected is shown via the airbag warning light in the instrument cluster. After an accident it stores crash data and then locks itself.

Why does the control unit 13356384 fail?

The most common cause on the 13356384 is crash data stored after an accident, even if no airbag has deployed. Aged components, cold solder joints, moisture and corrosion at plug connections, and voltage spikes are also possible causes.

Stored crash data remains in the control unit until it is removed during a repair. A normal diagnostic tool cannot erase it. Airbag24 erases it as part of the repair of the 13356384.

The other causes concern the electronics and the connections of the device. Voltage spikes arise, for example, from a weak battery or from a jump start.

How can you tell that the 13356384 is defective?

A defect on the 13356384 shows itself through the airbag warning light, which stays on permanently or intermittently. In addition there are fault messages in the instrument cluster, no connection to the diagnostic tool and a fault memory that cannot be cleared.

As long as the warning is active, airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may not deploy in an emergency. Therefore have the fault checked promptly.
