Airbag control unit with part number 98820-5HT0A

What does the airbag control unit 98820-5HT0A do?

The airbag control unit 98820-5HT0A is the central control unit of the restraint system (SRS) of Nissan. It evaluates the crash sensors, decides in a crash within milliseconds on the triggering of airbags and seatbelt pretensioners, and monitors the system permanently. If it detects a fault, it reports it via the airbag warning light.

After an accident it stores crash data and locks itself.

Monitoring takes place during operation, that is, while the vehicle is being driven.

Why does the control unit 98820-5HT0A fail?

Stored crash data is the most common cause of a failure of the control unit 98820-5HT0A, even if no airbag was triggered. A normal diagnostic tool cannot erase it. Other possible causes are aged electronic components, cold solder joints, moisture and corrosion on plug connections, and voltage spikes.

The crash data remains as an entry in the unit's memory until it is erased. The other causes concern the electronics and their connections: components age over time, solder joints can go cold, and moisture attacks the plug connections.

Voltage spikes arise, for example, from a weak battery or from a jump start.

How can you tell that the 98820-5HT0A is defective?

You recognise a defect on the control unit 98820-5HT0A by an airbag warning light in the instrument cluster that stays on permanently or intermittently. A fault message in the instrument cluster, a missing connection of the diagnostic tool or a fault memory that cannot be cleared are also among the signs. In an emergency the airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may then fail to deploy.

• Airbag warning light on permanently or intermittently
• Fault message in the instrument cluster
• Diagnostic tool receives no connection to the control unit
• Fault memory cannot be cleared
