Airbag control unit with part number 98820-5HK0A

What does the airbag control unit 98820-5HK0A do?

The airbag control unit 98820-5HK0A coordinates the restraint system (SRS) in Nissan. It analyses the crash sensors, decides within milliseconds in an accident on airbags and seatbelt pretensioners, and monitors the system continuously. It indicates faults via the airbag warning light.

With the ignition switched on, the unit constantly checks the system and reports irregularities.

After an accident, it stores crash data and locks itself. The lock is only lifted by the repair.

Why does the control unit 98820-5HK0A fail?

With the 98820-5HK0A, the most common cause is that crash data is stored after an accident, even if no airbag was triggered. Besides this, there are ageing components, dry solder joints, moisture and corrosion on plug connections, and voltage spikes.

The further causes at a glance:

• ageing electronic components
• dry solder joints
• moisture and corrosion on plug connections
• voltage spikes, for example from a weak battery or jump-starting

Crash data cannot be deleted with an ordinary diagnostic tool; Airbag24 deletes it during the repair.

How can you tell that the 98820-5HK0A is defective?

The airbag warning light lights up permanently or intermittently as soon as a fault is present on the 98820-5HK0A. A fault message appears in the instrument cluster, and the diagnostic tool finds no connection to the control unit. A fault memory that cannot be cleared also belongs to this picture.

• airbag warning light lights up permanently or intermittently
• fault message in the instrument cluster
• no connection to the diagnostic tool
• fault memory cannot be cleared

With these signs, airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may not trigger in an emergency. A check of the system is therefore advisable without delay.
