Airbag control unit with part number 68063119AG

What does the airbag control unit 68063119AG do?

The airbag control unit 68063119AG is the control unit of the restraint system (SRS) for Chrysler and Dodge. It evaluates the crash sensors, decides within milliseconds in a crash whether airbags and seatbelt pretensioners are triggered, and monitors the system permanently. If it detects a fault, it shows this via the airbag warning light.

The unit works in the background and continuously reads the values of the connected components. If anything is abnormal, it records an entry in the fault memory, which a workshop can read out later.

After an accident it stores crash data and locks itself.

Why does the control unit 68063119AG fail?

The most common cause is crash data stored after an accident, even if no airbag was triggered, because a normal diagnostic tool cannot erase it. Other causes include aged electronics, cold solder joints, moisture and corrosion at plug connections, and voltage spikes.

The further causes can roughly be classified as follows:

• aged electronic components
• cold solder joints
• moisture and corrosion at plug connections
• voltage spikes, for example from a weak battery or a jump start

How can you tell that the 68063119AG is defective?

The airbag warning light in the instrument cluster lights up permanently or intermittently. In addition, an error message appears in the instrument cluster, and the diagnostic tool may get no connection to the control unit, or the fault memory cannot be cleared. In such a case, airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may possibly not deploy in an emergency.

The warning light is the direct display of the system and therefore the most important warning signal. It shows the detected fault and must not be ignored, even if the vehicle otherwise seems unremarkable.

If there are any abnormalities, have the restraint system checked promptly.

Before removal there are steps that complement each other. Comparing the part number on the label with this page confirms that the unit is the correct one. Whether the control unit itself is the cause is shown only by the fault memory read out, because a plug or a cable may equally be responsible.

For the same vehicles, we also repair control units with the part numbers 05094018AL, 05094018AM, 5094019AK, 5WK43858, 68062118AE, 68062118AF.

How does the repair of the 68063119AG work?

Have the fault memory read out before removal and attach the log; only then disconnect the battery and take out the control unit. Then create a repair order online and send the well-packed unit. Processing at Airbag24 usually takes 3–4 working days.

Airbag24 tests the unit on the test bench, repairs damaged components, erases stored crash data and carries out a function test. Airbag24 then sends your own unit back.

The sequence protects you when working on the restraint system.

Our repairs come with 2 years' statutory liability for defects. The repaired control unit comes back with all vehicle data and is ready for use as soon as it is refitted — no coding or programming is required.

How does the control unit 68063119AG get to Airbag24?

Either you pack the unit as a parcel for dispatch, or you book a UPS collection for an extra charge. After the repair, UPS brings the unit back to you.

The printed repair order belongs in the parcel. Pack the unit so shock-resistantly that it survives transport undamaged.
