Airbag control unit with part number 9810153980

What does the airbag control unit 9810153980 do?

The airbag control unit 9810153980 coordinates the restraint system (SRS) in Peugeot. From the signals of the impact sensors it calculates, within fractions of a second, which airbags and seatbelt pretensioners fire in a crash. After an accident it stores crash data and locks itself.

The unit monitors the condition of the system continuously and reports faults via the airbag warning light.

The monitored parts include the sensors, the wiring and the firing circuits of the airbags and seatbelt pretensioners.

Why does the control unit 9810153980 fail?

The most common cause is crash data stored in the unit after an accident, even if no airbag fired; an ordinary diagnostic tool cannot erase it. In the 9810153980, ageing electronic components, cold solder joints, moisture and corrosion on plug connections, and voltage spikes must also be considered.

Airbag24 removes the crash data from the unit during the repair.

The other causes tend to develop gradually, for example through ageing or moisture in the plugs. Voltage spikes occur, for example, with a weak battery or a jump start.

How can you tell that the 9810153980 is defective?

If the airbag warning light in the instrument cluster lights up, permanently or only at times, this points to a defect. A message in the instrument cluster usually accompanies it; the diagnostic tool cannot reach the control unit, and the fault memory remains. In that case airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may not fire in a crash.

The light is therefore the visible sign that a check is needed.
