Airbag control unit with part number UR58-57K30

What does the airbag control unit UR58-57K30 do?

The airbag control unit UR58-57K30 controls the restraint system (SRS) of Ford. It evaluates the crash sensors, decides in an accident within fractions of a second which airbags and seatbelt pretensioners are triggered, and monitors the system continuously. It indicates detected faults via the airbag warning light.

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

Why does the control unit UR58-57K30 fail?

Most often the cause is crash data stored after an accident, even if no airbag was deployed. Further causes are aged electronic components, cold solder joints, moisture and corrosion at plug connections, and voltage spikes.

Crash data cannot be erased with a normal diagnostic tool. It therefore stays in the control unit until the repair removes it.

The other causes lie in the electronics themselves or in their connections. Voltage spikes arise, for example, from a weak battery or from jump-starting. Which cause applies only becomes clear when the unit is checked.

How can you tell that the UR58-57K30 is defective?

A defect shows itself when the airbag warning light in the instrument cluster lights up permanently or intermittently, when an error message appears in the instrument cluster, when the diagnostic tool cannot connect to the control unit, or when the fault memory cannot be cleared. Airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may then not trigger in an emergency.

The airbag warning light is the vehicle's direct indication of a fault in the restraint system. If it lights up, you should act promptly and have the control unit checked before you continue driving.

Which vehicles is the UR58-57K30 fitted in?

The airbag control unit UR58-57K30 is fitted in these vehicles: Ford Ranger 2 (2007-2009) and 2 Facelift (2009-2011). The model and year of construction of your vehicle show whether it is on the list.

For this number we list the following vehicles:

• Ford Ranger 2 (2007-2009)
• Ford Ranger 2 Facelift (2009-2011)

Compare the part number on the label of the removed unit with this page. This only confirms that it is the right unit. Have the fault memory read out beforehand, because only the result shows whether the control unit is defective or whether a plug or a cable is the cause.

How does the repair of the UR58-57K30 work?

First have the fault memory read out and enclose the log. Then disconnect the battery and only afterwards remove the control unit. Then create a repair order online and send the unit in well packed. Processing at Airbag24 usually takes 3–4 working days.

Airbag24 checks the unit on the test bench, replaces defective components and erases stored crash data. A function test follows, and then your own unit goes back to you.

Our repairs come with 2 years' statutory liability for defects. The repaired control unit comes back with all vehicle data and is ready for use as soon as it is refitted — no coding or programming is required.
