Airbag control unit with part number 24417007

What does the airbag control unit 24417007 do?

The airbag control unit 24417007 coordinates the restraint system (SRS) of Opel in the vehicle. It processes the measurement data of the crash sensors and decides in an accident within milliseconds which airbags and seatbelt pretensioners are triggered. If it detects a fault, it reports it via the airbag warning light.

Monitoring runs in the background, and you notice nothing of it as long as there is no fault.

After an accident the unit stores crash data and locks itself. The remaining sections of this page explain what consequences this has for diagnosis and repair.

Why does the control unit 24417007 fail?

The most common cause for the 24417007 is crash data stored after an accident, even if no airbag has deployed. A standard diagnostic tool cannot erase them. Ageing components, cold solder joints, moisture or corrosion at plug connections, and voltage spikes are also possible.

The crash data remain in the unit, and erasing them with a standard diagnostic tool does not work.

Ageing electronic components, cold solder joints and corrosion at plug connections are also among the causes. Voltage spikes, for example from a weak battery or a jump-start, additionally stress the electronics.

How can you tell that the 24417007 is defective?

A defect in the 24417007 is shown by the airbag warning light in the instrument cluster, which lights up permanently or intermittently, by a fault message in the instrument cluster, by a missing connection to the diagnostic tool, and by a fault memory that cannot be cleared. In an emergency, airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may then fail to deploy.

These signs stand out in detail:

• The airbag warning light in the instrument cluster stays on permanently or intermittently.
• A fault message appears in the instrument cluster.
• The diagnostic tool gets no connection to the control unit.
• The fault memory cannot be cleared.

Have the finding checked by reading out the fault memory as soon as possible.

Compare the part number on the label of the removed unit with this page, so that you can be sure you have the correct unit in front of you. Also have the fault memory read out beforehand, because only the log shows whether the control unit itself is defective or whether a plug or cable is the cause.

For the same vehicles, we also repair control units with the part numbers 09 229 303, 09174004UU, 09229302, 13 143 352 TS, 13137905, 13143352.

How does the repair of the 24417007 work?

First have the fault memory read out and attach the log. Only after disconnecting the battery do you remove the control unit 24417007. Then create a repair order online and send in the well-packed unit. Checking, repairing and testing at Airbag24 usually takes 3–4 working days.

Airbag24 checks the unit on the test bench, replaces defective components and erases stored crash data. A function test follows, after which your own unit is returned to you.

The order serves safety, because the battery must be disconnected before removal. Our repairs come with 2 years' statutory liability for defects. The repaired control unit comes back with all vehicle data and is ready for use as soon as it is refitted — no coding or programming is required.
