What does the airbag control unit 89170-12C90 do?
The airbag control unit 89170-12C90 carries out the evaluation in the restraint system (SRS) of Toyota. It receives the data from the crash sensors and decides within a fraction of a second in an accident which airbags and seatbelt pretensioners are triggered.
During operation it monitors the system and displays faults via the airbag warning light. After an accident, it stores crash data and locks itself.
Why does the control unit 89170-12C90 fail?
The most common cause is crash data stored after an accident, even if no airbag has deployed. Further causes for the 89170-12C90 are aged components, cold solder joints, moisture and corrosion on plugs, and voltage spikes.
Apart from the crash data, the following causes are possible:
- aged components
- cold solder joints
- moisture and corrosion at plug connections
- voltage spikes, for example with a weak battery
Crash data cannot be deleted with a standard diagnostic tool. Airbag24 handles this during the repair, before the unit is checked and tested.
How can you tell that the 89170-12C90 is defective?
The airbag warning light in the instrument cluster lights up constantly or only intermittently. Accompanying this, a fault message may appear in the instrument cluster, there may be no connection to the diagnostic tool, or a fault memory may be impossible to clear.
Such signs mean that airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may not deploy in an emergency. The warning light indicates the defect and must therefore be taken seriously.
