Airbag control unit with part number 38910-68PD0

What does the airbag control unit 38910-68PD0 do?

This unit 38910-68PD0 controls the airbags and seatbelt pretensioners in the restraint system (SRS) for Suzuki. Based on the signals from the crash sensors, it makes the decision in an accident within milliseconds about what is triggered. It also monitors the system and shows faults via the airbag warning light.

In normal operation the monitoring runs unobtrusively. Only when something is wrong does it become visible.

After an accident the unit stores crash data and locks itself. A fault message in the instrument cluster can be an indication of this.

Why does the control unit 38910-68PD0 fail?

Crash data from an accident is the most common cause of the 38910-68PD0 failing, even if no airbag was triggered. An ordinary diagnostic tool does not erase it.

Airbag24 removes the crash data during the repair. Aged components, cold solder joints, moisture and corrosion at plug connections, and voltage spikes also play a role.

Voltage spikes arise, for example, from a weak battery or from a jump start. That is why it is worth keeping an eye on the on-board voltage.

How can you tell that the 38910-68PD0 is defective?

A defect on the 38910-68PD0 usually shows itself through typical signs in the instrument cluster and on the diagnostic tool. Above all these are the airbag warning light, fault messages and a fault memory that cannot be erased.

• Airbag warning light on permanently or intermittently
• Fault messages in the instrument cluster
• Diagnostic tool receives no connection to the control unit
• Fault memory cannot be erased

If you notice one of these signs, airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may possibly not trigger in an emergency. A prompt check is therefore advisable.
