Airbag control unit with part number 600370

What is the function of Airbag Control Unit 600370?

The airbag control unit with part number 600370 is the central control module for the occupant protection system in the Iveco Eurocargo II (2002–2008). It continuously monitors the crash sensors and, in the event of a collision, deploys the airbags and seatbelt pretensioners. As a safety-critical component, it also stores crash data after an impact.

This control unit, also known as the SRS module (Supplemental Restraint System), serves as the brain of the passive safety system. It collects and processes data from acceleration sensors distributed throughout the vehicle to detect a collision.

In the event of a crash, the 600370 module determines within milliseconds which restraint systems need to be activated to provide optimal protection for occupants. After an accident, the control unit often locks itself to prevent unintended deployment and requires professional diagnostics for unlocking.

Why does Control Unit 600370 fail?

The most common cause of failure for Control Unit 600370 is the storage of crash data following an accident, which results in the system becoming locked. Other typical issues include internal faults in the SRS electronics or a complete loss of communication, rendering the unit unresponsive when connected to diagnostic tools.

After every crash—even minor collisions—crash data is permanently stored in the control unit’s memory. This data permanently disables the device’s functionality and cannot be erased using standard workshop scanners.

Another frequent issue is an internal system error. In such cases, problems arise on the control unit’s circuit board itself—for example, with internal memory chips or processors—preventing the entire safety system from functioning correctly.

How can you recognize a fault in Control Unit 600370?

A malfunctioning Control Unit 600370 primarily manifests through the airbag warning light on the instrument cluster, which may remain steadily illuminated or flash. During diagnostics, the fault is often indicated by messages such as “No communication with the control unit” or by the inability to erase stored crash data after an accident.

The most obvious sign for the driver is the persistently lit SRS warning light. This clearly signals that the airbag system is not operational and would not deploy in the event of a crash.

During workshop diagnostics, the control unit may fail to respond to requests from a diagnostic tool via the OBD‑II interface. The “No communication” error indicates a serious internal fault or a complete lockout.

If the vehicle is involved in a crash, the control unit becomes locked. Even if no external damage is visible, the unit must undergo professional repair to restore system integrity; otherwise, the airbags will remain deactivated.

In which models is Control Unit 600370 installed?

The airbag control unit with part number 600370 was specifically developed for the Iveco Eurocargo. At Airbag24, this control unit is offered for repair exclusively for the second generation of this model series, produced from 2002 to 2008.

Repair services at Airbag24 are specialized for the following vehicle series:

Iveco: Eurocargo II (model years 2002–2008)

As this is a component tailored specifically to this truck series, correct identification via part number 600370 is essential to ensure compatibility and successful repair.

How does the repair of Control Unit 600370 proceed at Airbag24?

Upon receipt at Airbag24, Control Unit 600370 undergoes a standardized repair process. First, a precise fault diagnosis is performed using specialized software. Next, the root cause of the problem—typically clearing crash data or resolving internal errors—is addressed. Following a comprehensive functional test, the unit is returned with a 12-month warranty.

Each repair begins with a detailed analysis to pinpoint the exact cause of the fault. All relevant memory areas and electronic components of the control unit are thoroughly inspected using advanced diagnostic equipment.

The key repair step involves safely and completely restoring the control unit to its factory settings. This includes erasing any crash‑induced lockouts so that the SRS system can function fully again.

A final test simulates vehicle communication and verifies that all functions operate flawlessly. Only after this successful test is the control unit approved for return shipment.

What are the benefits of repairing 600370?

Repairing control unit 600370 is an economically and technically superior alternative to purchasing a new one. You save significantly compared to a new part, which can cost up to €750, and avoid time-consuming reprogramming. Additionally, the repaired unit comes with a 12-month warranty.

The biggest advantage is the substantial cost savings versus a brand-new OEM part. You receive a fully functional component at a fraction of the new‑part price, without compromising safety.

Since the vehicle’s original control unit is repaired, reprogramming or relearning to the vehicle is usually unnecessary. The repaired unit can often be reinstalled via plug-and-play, saving both time and additional workshop costs.

Moreover, refurbishment is a sustainable approach. By reusing existing electronics, we help prevent electronic waste and conserve valuable resources.
