Airbag control unit with part number 22922715

What does the airbag control unit 22922715 do?

The airbag control unit 22922715 coordinates the restraint system (SRS) of Opel. It evaluates the signals from the crash sensors and in a crash decides within milliseconds on triggering airbags and seatbelt pretensioners.

In operation it checks the system continuously and shows faults via the airbag warning light.

After an accident it stores crash data and locks itself.

Why does the control unit 22922715 fail?

The most common cause is crash data from an accident, even if no airbag fired. A standard diagnostic tool cannot erase this data on the 22922715. Other causes are ageing, cold solder joints, moisture and voltage spikes.

Airbag24 erases the crash data as part of the repair.

Ageing of the electronics and cold solder joints change the behaviour of a control unit over the years.

Moisture, corrosion on plug connectors and voltage spikes, for example from a weak battery or a jump start, put additional strain on the circuit.

How can you tell that the 22922715 is defective?

On the 22922715 a defect shows itself through the airbag warning light, which stays on permanently or intermittently, and through messages in the instrument cluster. In an emergency, airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may therefore not fire.

Typical signs at a glance:

• warning light on permanently
• warning light only intermittently on
• message in the instrument cluster
• diagnostic tool without contact to the control unit
• fault memory cannot be cleared

Signs like these are clear enough to have the system checked.
