Airbag control unit with part number 13367447

What does the airbag control unit 13367447 do?

The airbag control unit 13367447 forms the central unit of the restraint system (SRS) in Opel vehicles. It evaluates signals from the crash sensors and decides in an impact which airbags and seatbelt pretensioners are triggered. It reports any faults via the airbag warning light.

This control unit runs in the background while driving and checks the system continuously. After a crash, it stores crash data and locks itself.

For vehicle safety, it is therefore a central point.

Why does the control unit 13367447 fail?

The most common cause is crash data stored after an accident, even if no airbag fired. A normal diagnostic tool cannot remove it. Further causes develop in everyday use.

• aged electronic components on the circuit board
• cold solder joints
• moisture and corrosion at plug connections
• voltage spikes, for example from a weak battery or a jump start

Which cause applies in an individual case is not known in advance. The crash data is the most obvious finding, since it sits in the unit's memory.

How can you tell that the 13367447 is defective?

A defect shows up as the airbag warning light in the instrument cluster, which lights up permanently or intermittently. Also an error message in the instrument cluster or a diagnostic tool that fails to connect.

• airbag warning light permanently on or only intermittently lit
• error message in the instrument cluster
• no connection between the diagnostic tool and the control unit
• fault memory that cannot be erased

While the fault persists, airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may possibly fail to deploy in an emergency. Have the finding checked promptly.
