Airbag control unit with part number 1385490080

What does the airbag control unit 1385490080 do?

The airbag control unit 1385490080 is the control unit of the restraint system (SRS) for Peugeot. It processes the data from the crash sensors and triggers the appropriate airbags and seatbelt pretensioners in an accident within fractions of a second.

The unit checks the system continuously and shows faults via the airbag warning light in the instrument cluster.

After an accident it records crash data and locks itself. The lock is lifted only by the repair.

Why does the control unit 1385490080 fail?

The most common cause after an accident is stored crash data, even if no airbag has triggered, which a standard diagnostic tool cannot delete. In addition there are ageing electronic components, cold solder joints, moisture and corrosion at plug connections, and voltage spikes.

After an accident the unit writes crash data to its memory. Whether an airbag was triggered is not decisive for this entry. The data is deleted during the repair.

Ageing electronics, cold solder joints, and moisture and corrosion at plug connections impair the function over time.

Voltage spikes, for example from a weak battery or a jump start, are a further cause.

How can you tell that the 1385490080 is defective?

The airbag warning light in the instrument cluster lights up constantly or intermittently, and fault messages appear in addition. The diagnostic tool also cannot connect to the control unit 1385490080, and the fault memory cannot be cleared.

The warning light makes the defect visible. It is therefore the first sign that you should take seriously.

In such a case, airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may fail to deploy in an emergency. Please have it checked.
