Airbag control unit with part number 98820-5R30C

What does the airbag control unit 98820-5R30C do?

The airbag control unit 98820-5R30C manages the restraint system (SRS) of Nissan and decides in an accident, within milliseconds, which airbags and seatbelt pretensioners are triggered. To do so it continuously evaluates the signals from the crash sensors.

It indicates detected faults via the airbag warning light. An accident causes the unit to store crash data and lock itself.

Why does the control unit 98820-5R30C fail?

The most common cause after an accident is stored crash data, even if no airbag has deployed. Other causes include aged electronic components, cold solder joints, moisture and corrosion at plug connections, and voltage spikes.

Crash data cannot be removed with a normal diagnostic tool. At Airbag24 it is deleted during the repair.

When components age or solder joints go cold, the behaviour of the circuit changes gradually.

Moisture causes contacts to corrode, and voltage spikes occur, for example, with a weak battery or jump-starting.

How can you tell that the 98820-5R30C is defective?

The airbag warning light in the instrument cluster stays on permanently or intermittently as soon as a defect is present. A fault message in the instrument cluster, a missing contact with the diagnostic tool or a fault memory that cannot be cleared may also occur.

In an emergency, airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may then not trigger.

The short light-up when the ignition is switched on is normal; the light must go out afterwards.

For the same vehicles, we also repair control units with the part numbers 98820-5RX0B.

How does the repair of the 98820-5R30C work?

Airbag24 normally needs 3–4 working days for processing. For safety reasons, first read out the fault memory and enclose the log, then disconnect the battery and remove the control unit. Then create a repair order online and send the unit in well packed.

Airbag24 checks the device on the test bench, replaces defective components, deletes stored crash data and carries out a function test. Afterwards your own unit is returned.

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 98820-5R30C get to Airbag24?

Use a parcel to send it, or book a UPS collection for an extra charge. The return shipment is by UPS once the repair is complete.

Include the printed repair order in the parcel; the control unit must be packed shockproof.
