Airbag control unit with part number P04672614AD

What does the airbag control unit P04672614AD do?

For Jeep, the airbag control unit P04672614AD controls the restraint system (SRS). It reads the crash sensors, triggers airbags and seatbelt pretensioners in a targeted way in an accident, and monitors the system during operation. After an accident it stores crash data and locks itself.

The unit and the system check themselves continuously during operation. If the unit finds a fault, it reports it via the airbag warning light in the instrument cluster.

Why does the control unit P04672614AD fail?

The most common cause is crash data stored after an accident, even if no airbag has deployed; a normal diagnostic tool cannot erase it. Airbag24 erases it during the repair. Other causes are ageing electronics, cold solder joints, moisture and corrosion at plug connections and voltage spikes.

• ageing electronic components in the unit
• cold solder joints
• moisture and corrosion at plug connections
• voltage spikes, for example from a weak battery or jump-starting

Which cause applies is shown only by reading the fault memory together with an examination of the unit.

How can you tell that the P04672614AD is defective?

The airbag warning light in the instrument cluster stays on constantly or comes on intermittently. An error message also appears in the instrument cluster. In an emergency, airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may then fail to trigger.

• Airbag warning light stays on constantly or comes on intermittently
• Error message in the instrument cluster
• Diagnostic tool receives no connection to the control unit
• Fault memory cannot be cleared
