What does the airbag control unit P68148040AD do?
The airbag control unit P68148040AD is the switching centre of the restraint system (SRS) for Jeep. It receives the signals from the crash sensors, calculates in an accident whether airbags and seatbelt pretensioners are triggered, and checks the system continuously.
Faults that occur are stored in the memory and displayed via the airbag warning light in the instrument cluster.
After an accident the unit stores crash data and locks itself. For fault finding this means the fault memory is the first stop of every check.
Why does the control unit P68148040AD fail?
Stored crash data is the most common cause: it arises after an accident even if no airbag has deployed, and a normal diagnostic tool cannot erase it. Aged components, cold solder joints, moisture and corrosion at plug connectors, and voltage spikes also play a part.
Aged electronic components and cold solder joints impair the function over time. These changes happen gradually and only show up when the memory is read out.
Moisture and corrosion disrupt the contacts at plug connectors. Voltage spikes arise, for example, from a weak battery or when a jump start is connected, and can damage components.
How can you tell that the P68148040AD is defective?
A defect shows up as the airbag warning light in the instrument cluster staying on permanently or intermittently. In addition there are a failed connection of the diagnostic tool, fault messages, and a fault memory that cannot be cleared.
While such a fault persists, airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may not deploy in a crash. Have the warning light checked promptly.
