Airbag control unit with part number 68025632AK

What does the airbag control unit 68025632AK do?

The airbag control unit 68025632AK coordinates the restraint system (SRS) for vehicles from Jeep. It evaluates the crash sensors and determines in an accident, within milliseconds, which airbags and seatbelt pretensioners are triggered.

The number Bosch 0285011114 is also noted on the housing. The control unit monitors the system continuously and reports faults via the airbag warning light in the instrument cluster.

After an accident it stores crash data and locks itself. The lock is lifted only by the repair.

Why does the control unit 68025632AK fail?

With the 68025632AK, the most common cause lies in crash data stored after an accident, even if no airbag has deployed. An ordinary diagnostic tool cannot erase this data; Airbag24 removes it during the repair. Other causes are aged electronic components, cold solder joints, moisture and corrosion at plug connectors, as well as voltage spikes.

Voltage spikes arise, for example, from a weak battery or when connecting a jump start, and can stress the electronics.

How can you tell that the 68025632AK is defective?

A fault on the 68025632AK shows up on the airbag warning light in the instrument cluster, which stays on permanently or intermittently, on an error message in the instrument cluster, or in the diagnostic tool being unable to establish a connection.

If the fault memory cannot be cleared, this sign is added and confirms the fault. The light should therefore not be overlooked, but should prompt a check promptly.

In an emergency, airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may then fail to trigger.
