Airbag control unit with part number 98820-6RG0B

What does the airbag control unit 98820-6RG0B do?

The airbag control unit 98820-6RG0B coordinates the restraint system (SRS) for Nissan. It evaluates the crash sensors, decides in an accident within milliseconds on the triggering of airbags and seatbelt pretensioners, and monitors the system permanently.

If the control unit detects a fault, it reports it via the airbag warning light in the instrument cluster. This makes the state of the system visible to you.

After an accident the unit stores crash data and locks itself.

Why does the control unit 98820-6RG0B fail?

The most common cause on the 98820-6RG0B is crash data stored after an accident, even if no airbag has deployed. Beyond that, aging, connection problems and voltage spikes come into consideration.

Crash data cannot be erased with a normal diagnostic tool; Airbag24 erases it during the repair. The other causes in detail:

• Aged electronic components
• Cold solder joints
• Moisture and corrosion at plug connections
• Voltage spikes, for example from a weak battery or jump-starting

How can you tell that the 98820-6RG0B is defective?

A defect on the 98820-6RG0B shows up as the airbag warning light in the instrument cluster, as fault messages there and as a missing connection to the diagnostic tool. A fault memory that cannot be erased also points to a defect.

• Airbag warning light lights up permanently or intermittently
• Fault message in the instrument cluster
• The diagnostic tool gets no connection to the control unit
• The fault memory cannot be erased

In an emergency, airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may then fail to deploy. The warning light shows the defect, and you should take this display seriously.
