Airbag control unit with part number 1385488080

What does the airbag control unit 1385488080 do?

The airbag control unit 1385488080 coordinates the restraint system (SRS) in Peugeot. It takes the readings from the crash sensors, decides in a crash which airbags and seatbelt pretensioners are triggered, and monitors the system permanently.

The assessment takes place within fractions of a second. The unit compares the measured values with stored thresholds and then decides whether intervention is necessary.

It stores detected faults and displays them via the airbag warning light. After a crash it records crash data and locks itself. Only the repair lifts the lock.

Why does the control unit 1385488080 fail?

The most common cause is crash data stored after an accident, even if no airbag has deployed. A standard diagnostic tool cannot erase it. Other causes are aged components, moisture at plug connections and voltage spikes.

The crash data is stored regardless of whether an airbag has deployed. Common diagnostic tools cannot remove it. Airbag24 erases it during the repair.

The other causes are ageing of the electronics, cold solder joints and corrosion at plug connections. In addition come voltage spikes, for example with a weak battery or a jump start.

How can you tell that the 1385488080 is defective?

A defect shows up as the airbag warning light in the instrument cluster lighting up permanently or intermittently. Other signs are fault messages in the instrument cluster, no connection to the diagnostic tool and a fault memory that cannot be cleared.

Typical signs:

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

In an emergency, airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may then fail to deploy. Please have the system checked promptly.
