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 Q6 e-tron 1st generation Sportback airbag control unit?
The Audi Q6 e-tron 1st generation Sportback airbag control unit is the central control unit of the restraint system (SRS). It evaluates the signals from the crash sensors and, in an accident, decides within milliseconds which airbags and seatbelt pretensioners to deploy. It also monitors the system continuously and reports faults via the airbag warning light.
In the restraint system, sensors, control unit and airbags work together. The sensors report accelerations and impact signals, the control unit evaluates them, and the airbags and seatbelt pretensioners follow its deployment command. In the Audi Q6 e-tron 1st generation Sportback (since 2025), the control unit forms the central control unit of this system (SRS).
Its tasks also include constant self-monitoring of all connected components, such as the squibs and the sensor wiring. After an accident, the control unit stores crash data and locks itself.
If the airbag warning light comes on, the control unit has detected a fault in the system. Whether the unit itself or a connected component is the cause can only be established by reading out and testing.
Why is the Audi Q6 e-tron 1st generation Sportback airbag control unit defective?
The most common cause is crash data stored after an accident, even if no airbag deployed. Other causes are aged electronic components, cold solder joints, moisture and corrosion on connectors, and voltage spikes.
Stored crash data cannot be cleared with an ordinary diagnostic tool. The control unit then stays locked, even if all components are undamaged. Solder joints can develop cracks over the years, and electronic components age through temperature changes and vibration while driving.
Voltage spikes occur, for example, with a weak battery or when jump-starting. Moisture on the connectors leads to corrosion over time and thus to contact resistance.
Typical signs are an airbag warning light that stays on permanently, a fault memory that cannot be cleared, or a diagnostic tool that cannot connect to the control unit.
Common error codes for Audi Q6 e-tron 1st generation Sportback airbag control unit repair
The error codes show in which area of the restraint system the control unit has detected a fault, for example in the supply voltage, in the squib circuits of the airbags or in the control unit itself. Which message appears depends on the fault pattern.
The following list shows codes that are known for this vehicle, each with a short meaning. It is not complete.
- 65535 → General internal control unit fault reported
- 00532 → Supply voltage intermittently too low
- 00588 → Driver airbag squib, resistance fault
- 00590 → Passenger airbag squib, fault
- 01217 → Front side airbag squib, driver side, resistance fault
- 01218 → Front side airbag squib, passenger side, resistance fault
Error codes are read out with a diagnostic tool. 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 testing settles it.
What part numbers are available for the Audi Q6 e-tron 1st generation Sportback airbag control unit repair?
The part number is printed on the label of the control unit and determines the exact version. Within a model series there are different numbers depending on equipment and year of manufacture.
The following list shows known part numbers for this vehicle. It makes no claim to completeness.
- 85E959655AM
Compare the number on your unit with the list. This only confirms that it is the right unit. Whether it is defective is only shown by reading out the fault memory or by testing.
The way to repair is short: have the fault memory read out, disconnect the battery and remove the control unit. Create a repair order online and send in the unit. Processing at Airbag24 usually takes 3–4 working days and covers checking, repairing and testing. The unit is then returned to you. 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.
