Airbag control unit with part number 98820-6RH0B

What does the airbag control unit 98820-6RH0B do?

The airbag control unit 98820-6RH0B belongs to the SRS restraint system of Nissan and is its control unit. It receives the messages from the crash sensors, decides in a crash within milliseconds about airbags and seatbelt pretensioners, and monitors the system continuously. After an accident, it stores crash data and locks itself.

It indicates faults via the airbag warning light in the instrument cluster.

Why does the control unit 98820-6RH0B fail?

Stored crash data from an accident are the most common cause for 98820-6RH0B, even if no airbag has deployed; a normal diagnostic tool cannot erase them. Aged electronics, cold solder joints, wetness and rust at the plugs, and voltage spikes, for example with a weak battery or jump starting, also come into play.

Reading the fault memory shows which entries are present.

How can you tell that the 98820-6RH0B is defective?

The airbag warning light in the instrument cluster lights up permanently or intermittently, an error message appears in the instrument cluster, or a diagnostic tool finds no access to the control unit 98820-6RH0B. The fault memory then also cannot be cleared, and airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may fail to deploy in an emergency.

The system itself sounds the alarm via the light, but the cause and location of the fault only come out in diagnosis.
