Airbag control unit with part number 68355362AB

What does the airbag control unit 68355362AB do?

The airbag control unit 68355362AB forms the control unit for the SRS restraint system of Dodge. It processes the signals from the crash sensors and determines which airbags and seatbelt pretensioners are triggered in an accident.

The unit monitors the system continuously and shows faults via the airbag warning light in the instrument cluster.

After an accident it stores crash data and locks itself. The following sections cover the consequences for the repair.

Why does the control unit 68355362AB fail?

The most common cause is crash data stored after an accident, even if no airbag was triggered. Further causes are aged components, cold solder joints, moisture and corrosion, and voltage spikes.

Crash data cannot be removed with normal diagnostic tools. The further causes at a glance:

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

How can you tell that the 68355362AB is defective?

The airbag warning light in the instrument cluster stays on permanently or intermittently, and an error message appears in the instrument cluster. The diagnostic tool receives no connection to the control unit, and the fault memory cannot be cleared. In a crash, the airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may then fail to deploy.

The display in the instrument cluster is the clearest indication. Looking at it after switching on the ignition shows whether the light goes out or stays on.

If it stays on or comes back, the system must be checked; reading out the fault memory is the first step.
