Airbag control unit with part number 1375867080

What does the airbag control unit 1375867080 do?

The airbag control unit 1375867080 is the central control unit of the restraint system (SRS) for Fiat and Opel. It evaluates the crash sensors, decides in an accident whether airbags and seatbelt pretensioners are triggered, and monitors the system continuously. After an accident it stores crash data and locks itself.

The decision is made within milliseconds, directly in the control unit.

The unit indicates faults via the airbag warning light in the instrument cluster, so that the condition of the system remains recognisable.

Why does the control unit 1375867080 fail?

The most common cause is stored crash data after an accident, even if no airbag has deployed. It cannot be erased with a normal diagnostic tool; Airbag24 erases it during the repair. Other causes are aged electronic components, cold solder joints, moisture and corrosion at plug connections, and voltage spikes.

You cannot see from the unit that crash data is stored. That is why, in the event of a failure, it is worth thinking of an earlier accident, even if no airbag deployed.

Voltage spikes, for example from a weak battery or a jump-start, stress the electronics. Moisture and corrosion on the plugs impair the contact.

How can you tell that the 1375867080 is defective?

A defect shows on the airbag warning light in the instrument cluster, which lights continuously or intermittently, and on error messages in the instrument cluster. In addition there is a diagnostic tool with no connection to the control unit and a fault memory that cannot be cleared.

• Airbag warning light lights continuously
• Airbag warning light lights only intermittently
• Error message in the instrument cluster
• Diagnostic tool receives no connection to the control unit
• Fault memory cannot be cleared

Airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may not be able to deploy in an emergency as long as the defect persists. Therefore have it checked promptly.
