Airbag control unit with part number 610156000E

What does the airbag control unit 610156000E do?

The 610156000E forms, at Peugeot and Citroën, the central control of the SRS restraint system. From the values of the crash sensors it determines in an accident which airbags and seatbelt pretensioners are triggered. After an accident it stores crash data and locks itself.

During operation the control unit constantly checks the connections and components of the system. If it detects a fault, it reports this to the warning light in the instrument cluster.

In an emergency triggering must not hesitate, which is why the control is designed exclusively for this.

Why does the control unit 610156000E fail?

The most common cause of the 610156000E is crash data stored after an accident, even if no airbag has triggered. Further causes to consider are aged electronic components, cold solder joints, moisture or corrosion at plug connections, and voltage spikes such as from a weak battery or jump-starting.

The diagnostic tool cannot delete this data. Airbag24 deletes it during the repair.

A contact at plug connections can give way only under certain loads, which is why plugs are checked as part of the cause search.

How can you tell that the 610156000E is defective?

A fault in the 610156000E shows itself first via the airbag warning light in the instrument cluster, which lights up permanently or intermittently. Added to this are an error message in the instrument cluster, no connection to the diagnostic tool and a fault memory that cannot be cleared.

These signs are typical:

• Warning light permanently on or intermittently active
• Error message in the instrument cluster
• Diagnostic tool without connection to the control unit
• Fault memory cannot be cleared

In this condition airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may not trigger in an emergency. Therefore have the system checked promptly.
