What is an Audi A4 B8 8KH Allroad airbag control unit?

In the Audi A4 B8 8KH Allroad, the airbag control unit is the central unit of the restraint system (SRS). It evaluates the signals from the crash sensors and, in an accident, determines within milliseconds which airbags and seatbelt pretensioners fire. If it has registered an accident, it stores crash data and locks itself.

The unit is fitted in the model series 2009 to 2015. It works without a break. It continuously checks sensors, squib circuits and wiring by itself.

If the unit finds a fault, it switches on the airbag warning light in the instrument cluster. At the same time it records the cause in the fault memory. Without a fault, the light goes out again after the ignition is switched on.

Whether airbags and seatbelt pretensioners deploy in time in an emergency depends on this unit. A lit warning light should therefore be checked promptly.

Why is the Audi A4 B8 8KH Allroad airbag control unit defective?

Usually the cause is crash data left in the unit by an accident, even if no airbag fired. Other possible causes are aged electronic components, cold solder joints, moisture with corrosion on connectors and voltage spikes, for example from a weak battery or a jump start.

An ordinary diagnostic tool does not erase stored crash data. The control unit keeps reporting the fault, even though the vehicle has long been in order again.

Three things in particular point to a defect. The airbag warning light stays on permanently. The fault memory cannot be cleared. The diagnostic tool finds no connection to the control unit. If you notice any of these on your Audi A4 B8 8KH Allroad, have the unit checked.

Common error codes for Audi A4 B8 8KH Allroad airbag control unit repair

The codes on the Audi A4 B8 8KH Allroad reveal where in the restraint system something is wrong: in the power supply, in a squib circuit or in the control unit itself. They are read out from the fault memory with a diagnostic tool.

Here are codes that occur on this model. They concern internal faults, the power supply and squib circuits.

  • 65535 → Control unit internally defective
  • 00532 → Supply voltage too low, sporadic
  • 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 single code does not yet prove a defect of the control unit. The cause can equally be connectors, wiring or an airbag module. The inspection shows where the fault lies. Please enclose the diagnostic report with your unit.

What part numbers are available for the Audi A4 B8 8KH Allroad airbag control unit repair?

You will find the part number on the label of the control unit. It determines the exact version, because depending on equipment and year of manufacture, units of the same model series of the Audi A4 B8 8KH Allroad carry different numbers.

You will find known numbers for this model here. The list is not complete.

  • 8K0959655G
  • 8K0959655J
  • 8K0959655K
  • 8K0959655L
  • 8K0959655M
  • 8K0959655N

Compare the number on your unit with the list. This only clarifies whether it is the matching unit. Whether it is defective only becomes clear from reading out the fault memory or from the inspection.

The route to repair: read out the fault memory, disconnect the battery and remove the control unit. Then create a repair order online and send in the unit. Checking, 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.
