What does the airbag control unit 98820-5R70B do?
The airbag control unit 98820-5R70B manages the airbag system of Nissan: it analyses the sensor signals, determines within milliseconds in a crash the triggering of the airbags and seatbelt pretensioners, and checks the system continuously.
It indicates a fault via the airbag warning light, and after an accident it stores crash data and locks itself.
Why does the control unit 98820-5R70B fail?
Most often, crash data stored after an accident leads to failure, even without a triggered airbag; a normal diagnostic tool cannot delete it. Other causes are ageing, solder joints, moisture and voltage spikes.
The causes in detail:
- Electronics that age over time
- Solder joints that have gone cold
- Moisture and rust on plugs
- On-board voltage fluctuations, for example with a weak battery or a jump start
How can you tell that the 98820-5R70B is defective?
The airbag warning light in the instrument cluster stays on permanently or only from time to time, and in addition a message appears in the instrument cluster. The diagnostic tool cannot reach the control unit, and a fault memory that cannot be cleared also indicates a fault. Then airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may not trigger in an emergency.
The light is not a trivial matter; it is the signal from the control unit itself.
Only reading out the fault memory clarifies whether the control unit or the wiring is affected.
