What is an Audi S6 e-tron 1st generation airbag control unit?

The SRS control unit is the central control unit of the restraint system in the Audi S6 e-tron 1st generation. It evaluates the signals from the crash sensors and, in an accident, decides within milliseconds which airbags and seatbelt pretensioners deploy. After an accident it stores crash data and locks itself.

The control unit monitors the system constantly. If it detects a fault, it displays it via the airbag warning light in the instrument cluster and stores an entry in the fault memory.

It is installed in the Audi S6 e-tron 1st generation (since 2024). At every start it checks the connected sensors and firing circuits.

If the airbag warning light stays on, the control unit has detected a fault. You should not ignore this, because in an accident airbags and seatbelt pretensioners might then not deploy as intended. Repairing the control unit restores the function of the restraint system.

Why is the Audi S6 e-tron 1st generation 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. This affects the Audi S6 e-tron 1st generation like any other vehicle.

Stored crash data cannot be cleared with a standard diagnostic tool. The control unit stays locked, and the warning light does not go out even after an attempt to clear the data.

Voltage spikes arise, for example, from a weak battery or from jump-starting. Moisture attacks the connectors. Components age, solder joints turn cold.

Typical signs: the airbag warning light stays on permanently. The fault memory cannot be cleared. The diagnostic tool cannot establish a connection.

Common error codes for Audi S6 e-tron 1st generation airbag control unit repair

You read out error codes from the fault memory of the Audi S6 e-tron 1st generation with a diagnostic tool. They show in which area of the restraint system a fault is present: in the control unit itself, in the power supply or in the firing circuits of the airbags.

Only after reading out can you work out what a code means. These error codes occur frequently:

  • 65535 → Control unit reports internal fault
  • 00532 → Supply voltage too low, intermittent
  • 00588 → Driver airbag firing circuit, resistance fault
  • 00590 → Passenger airbag firing circuit, fault
  • 01217 → Driver-side side airbag firing circuit, resistance fault
  • 01218 → Passenger-side side airbag firing 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.

What part numbers are available for the Audi S6 e-tron 1st generation airbag control unit repair?

You will find the part number on the label of the control unit; it determines the exact version. In the Audi S6 e-tron 1st generation there are different numbers depending on equipment and year of manufacture.

Read the number from the label and state it in the repair order. This ensures that it is the right unit. Whether it is defective is only shown by the inspection.

This is how you get to the repair: 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, with checking, repairing and testing, usually takes 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.
