What does the airbag control unit 5Q0959655BN do?
The airbag control unit 5Q0959655BN manages the SRS restraint system for Audi. It evaluates the crash sensors, decides within milliseconds in an accident on triggering airbags and seatbelt pretensioners, and monitors the system continuously. Faults appear on the airbag warning light.
The system thus stays in view while the vehicle is on the road.
After an accident the unit stores crash data and then locks itself.
Why does the control unit 5Q0959655BN fail?
Stored crash data from an accident are the most common cause, even if no airbag has triggered. An ordinary diagnostic tool cannot erase this data. Other triggers are aged components, cold solder joints, moisture and corrosion at plug connections, and voltage spikes such as those from a weak battery or a jump start.
Airbag24 erases the crash data during the repair. The other causes affect the electronics over the life of the vehicle.
How can you tell that the 5Q0959655BN is defective?
A defect can be recognised by several signs that appear in the instrument cluster and on the diagnostic tool. In an emergency, airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may then fail to trigger.
- The airbag warning light in the instrument cluster stays on
- A fault message is shown in the instrument cluster
- Diagnosis aborts because no connection is established
- The fault memory remains
The list is for orientation only. If signs of this kind appear, a check makes sense even if the car drives normally.
