Airbag control unit with part number 86250-36560

What does the airbag control unit 86250-36560 do?

The airbag control unit 86250-36560 coordinates the restraint system (SRS) in the SsangYong vehicle. It measures what happens in an accident through the crash sensors and decides within milliseconds which airbags and seatbelt pretensioners trigger. It also monitors the whole system and shows faults via the airbag warning light; after an accident it stores crash data and locks itself.

Part of the monitoring concerns sensors and wiring, another part the seatbelt pretensioners and airbags themselves.

Why does the control unit 86250-36560 fail?

The most common cause is crash data stored after an accident, even without an airbag having fired; a normal diagnostic tool cannot erase it. Further causes are aging electronic components, cold solder joints, moisture and corrosion, as well as voltage spikes.

The crash data remain in the unit until Airbag24 erases them during the repair. The other causes in detail:

• Aging electronic components let the function decline over time.
• Cold solder joints can make electrical contacts unreliable.
• Moisture and corrosion at plug connections disturb the connection.
• Voltage spikes, for example from a weak battery or a jump-start, strain the electronics.

How can you tell that the 86250-36560 is defective?

The airbag warning light in the instrument cluster stays on permanently or intermittently, and the instrument cluster shows a fault message. The diagnostic tool cannot find the control unit, and the fault memory cannot be erased. In an emergency, airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may therefore not be able to trigger.

Take these signs seriously and have the system checked promptly.

Compare the part number on the label of the removed unit with this page; then you know that it is the right unit. Also have the fault memory read out beforehand, because only this result shows whether the control unit or a plug or cable is the cause.

For the same vehicles, we also repair control units with the part numbers 86250-38040.

How does the repair of the 86250-36560 work?

First have the fault memory read out and attach the log. Then disconnect the battery and remove the control unit. Next create a repair order online and send the unit in well packed.

Airbag24 tests the unit on the test bench, repairs defective components, erases stored crash data and carries out a function test. The own unit is then sent back to you. Processing usually takes 3–4 working days, and this refers only to this work at Airbag24.

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 86250-36560 get to Airbag24?

Your unit reaches Airbag24 either as a parcel or via a UPS collection, which you can book for an extra charge. After the repair Airbag24 sends the control unit back to you by UPS.

Pack the unit shock-proof and enclose the printed repair order.
