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 RS5 F5A Sportback airbag control unit?
In the Audi RS5 F5A Sportback, the airbag control unit manages the entire restraint system (SRS). It reads out the crash sensors. In the event of an accident, it determines within milliseconds which airbags and seatbelt pretensioners deploy.
The unit works continuously as soon as the ignition is switched on. It monitors sensors, squib circuits and its own electronics. If it detects a fault, it switches on the airbag warning light. It is fitted in the model series 2019 to 2024. The control unit comes from Bosch.
After an accident, the control unit stores crash data and locks itself.
Why is the Audi RS5 F5A Sportback airbag control unit defective?
Most often the cause is crash data that remains in memory after an accident, even if no airbag has deployed. Ageing components, cold solder joints, corrosion on connectors and voltage spikes may also be the cause.
An ordinary diagnostic tool cannot remove this crash data. The control unit then keeps reporting the fault, even once the bodywork has been repaired.
A failure is just as possible without an accident. Electronic components age. Solder joints lose their strength over time. Moisture attacks the contacts in the connectors. A weak battery or jump-starting can produce voltage spikes that put additional strain on the unit. Such damage usually develops gradually and is only noticed once the warning light comes on.
A defect usually shows itself like this: The airbag warning light stays on permanently. Fault messages remain despite attempts to clear them. Or the diagnostic tool cannot establish contact with the control unit.
Common error codes for Audi RS5 F5A Sportback airbag control unit repair
The known codes concern internal faults of the control unit, the supply voltage and the squib circuits of the airbags. Which of them occurs depends on the damage in question.
These fault codes are known in the Audi RS5 F5A Sportback:
- 65535 → General internal control unit fault
- 00532 → Supply voltage intermittently too low
- 00588 → Driver airbag squib circuit, resistance fault
- 00590 → Passenger airbag squib circuit, fault
- 01217 → Front side airbag squib circuit, driver side, resistance fault
- 01218 → Front side airbag squib circuit, passenger side, resistance fault
A diagnostic tool reads the codes from the memory. On its own, a code does not prove a defect in the control unit. Connectors, wiring or an airbag module may equally be the cause. The inspection shows where the fault lies. It is therefore worth reading out the fault memory completely and keeping the log.
What part numbers are available for the Audi RS5 F5A Sportback airbag control unit repair?
You will find the part number on the label on the unit. It determines the exact version, because depending on equipment and year of manufacture the numbers differ within a model series.
The following part numbers are known for the Audi RS5 F5A Sportback. The list is not complete.
- 8W0959655H (Bosch)
- 8W0959655N
Compare the number of your unit with this list. This only ensures that it is the right unit. Whether there is a defect is only established by reading out the fault memory or by the inspection.
The route to repair: Have the fault memory read out. Then disconnect the battery and remove the control unit. Create a repair order online and send in the unit. Airbag24 inspects, repairs and tests it, as a rule within 3–4 working days. 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.
