Airbag control unit with part number 98820-6TX0D

What does the airbag control unit 98820-6TX0D do?

The airbag control unit 98820-6TX0D is the central control unit of the restraint system (SRS) for Nissan. It evaluates the signals from the crash sensors, decides in an accident within milliseconds on the triggering of airbags and seatbelt pretensioners, and monitors the system continuously. After an accident it stores crash data and locks itself.

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

Why does the control unit 98820-6TX0D fail?

With the control unit 98820-6TX0D, the most common cause is crash data stored after an accident, even if no airbag has deployed. Other causes are ageing electronic components, cold solder joints, moisture and corrosion at plug connections, and voltage spikes. With this control unit, deleting the crash data is often not possible; if you would like it deleted, get in touch with Airbag24 briefly before sending it in, and Airbag24 will then check the number.

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

Crash data also arises when an accident turns out to be minor. The entry remains in the memory even if the vehicle then drives without any irregularities.

How can you tell that the 98820-6TX0D is defective?

The airbag warning light in the instrument cluster lights up permanently or intermittently in the event of a defect in the control unit 98820-6TX0D. In addition there are error messages in the instrument cluster and a fault memory that cannot be cleared.

A diagnostic tool that cannot get a connection to the control unit is a further sign. In the event of a defect, airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may not deploy in an emergency. The warning light shows that the system has detected a fault; only reading out the fault memory shows which cause lies behind it.
