Airbag control unit Fiat 500 was broken. Hard to believe but they can really repair it! Recommendation!!
Automatically translated · Original: German
From the first phone call, the order processing, to the shipping, everything was done very quickly and professionally. Now I still have to send the repaired unit to the Swedish workshop and then hopefully the Honda can finally pass the HU there again (failed because of the red airbag light). Thanks to Airbag 24 in Berlin 👍👏. Gerd

What is an Audi A1 8XA Sportback airbag control unit?
The airbag control unit is the central control unit of the restraint system (SRS) in the Audi A1 8XA Sportback. It is fitted in the 2012 to 2018 series and comes from Bosch. In an accident it decides within milliseconds which airbags and seatbelt pretensioners deploy.
The basis is the signals from the crash sensors, which the control unit evaluates constantly. At the same time it continuously checks itself and the connected system and indicates faults via the airbag warning light.
After an accident the control unit stores crash data and locks itself.
Why is the Audi A1 8XA Sportback airbag control unit defective?
Most often, crash data stored after an accident is present, even if no airbag deployed. An ordinary diagnostic tool does not erase it. Other causes are aged electronic components, cold solder joints, moisture and corrosion on connectors, and voltage spikes, for example from a weak battery or jump-starting.
Electronic components age, and solder joints can crack over time. This causes dropouts, which the control unit stores as faults.
A typical sign is an airbag warning light that stays on continuously. Often the fault memory cannot be erased, or the diagnostic tool cannot connect.
Common error codes for Audi A1 8XA Sportback airbag control unit repair
On the Audi A1 8XA Sportback, the error codes mainly concern the power supply, the squib circuits of the airbags and a general control unit fault. First you read out the codes with a diagnostic tool, then comes their meaning.
To read them out, connect a diagnostic tool, select the restraint system and retrieve the fault memory. Then match the codes to their meaning. Known codes are shown here.
- B1225F1 → Airbag warning light on, fault stored
- 65535 → General control unit fault reported
- 00532 → Supply voltage too low, intermittent
- 00588 → Driver airbag squib circuit, resistance fault
- 00590 → Passenger airbag squib circuit, fault
- 01217 → Driver-side side airbag squib circuit, resistance fault
- 01218 → Passenger-side side airbag squib circuit, resistance fault
A code alone does not reliably show that the control unit is defective. Connectors, wiring or an airbag module can also be the cause. Only the inspection clarifies it.
Save the read-out report and enclose it with the unit.
What part numbers are available for the Audi A1 8XA Sportback airbag control unit repair?
The part number is on the label of the control unit and determines the exact version. Within the series there are different numbers depending on equipment and year of manufacture. On the Audi A1 8XA Sportback, you should therefore read it from your own unit.
The list shows known part numbers. It is not exhaustive.
- 8X0959655A
- 8X0959655B
Compare the number on your own unit with this list. This only ensures that it is the right unit. Whether it is actually defective is only shown by reading out the fault memory or by the inspection at Airbag24.
This is how you get to the repair: first have the fault memory read out. Then disconnect the battery and remove the control unit. Next, create a repair order online and send in the unit. Inspecting, repairing and testing usually take 3–4 working days at Airbag24.
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.
