Airbag control unit with part number 98820-6RR0C

What does the airbag control unit 98820-6RR0C do?

The airbag control unit 98820-6RR0C controls the restraint system (SRS) for Nissan. In the event of an impact, it uses the crash sensors to decide within milliseconds which airbags and seatbelt pretensioners are triggered.

During operation the unit checks the system continuously. Any faults detected are stored in its memory and shown via the airbag warning light.

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

Why does the control unit 98820-6RR0C fail?

The most common cause on the 98820-6RR0C is stored crash data, even if no airbag was triggered. Other causes are aged electronic components, cold solder joints, moisture and corrosion at plug connectors, and voltage spikes.

Crash data cannot be erased with a normal diagnostic tool. Airbag24 removes it during the repair.

The following causes are also possible:

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

How can you tell that the 98820-6RR0C is defective?

On the 98820-6RR0C, a defect shows up as the airbag warning light staying on permanently or intermittently and as an error message in the instrument cluster. In addition, the diagnostic tool gets no connection to the control unit, or the fault memory cannot be cleared. In a real emergency, airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may then fail to trigger.

The warning light in the instrument cluster reports the fault directly. It is therefore the most important sign of the state of the system.

Only the readout shows whether the control unit itself is affected.
