What is an Audi SQ5 FYB Sportback airbag control unit?

The airbag control unit in the Audi SQ5 FYB Sportback is the central control unit of the restraint system (SRS). It evaluates the signals from the crash sensors. In an accident it decides within milliseconds which airbags and seatbelt pretensioners deploy.

The control unit monitors the system continuously. It reports faults via the airbag warning light. After an accident it stores crash data and locks itself.

It is fitted in the Audi SQ5 FYB Sportback (2021 to 2024). Airbag24 in Berlin repairs it through a send-in service. You remove the unit and send it in. Your own unit comes back repaired. No other unit is fitted.

You do not need to arrange anything else: Airbag24 inspects the unit, repairs it and tests it before sending it back.

Why is the Audi SQ5 FYB Sportback airbag control unit defective?

The most common cause is crash data stored after an accident, even if no airbag deployed. An ordinary diagnostic tool cannot 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.

The sign is usually clear. The airbag warning light stays on permanently. The fault memory cannot be cleared. Sometimes the diagnostic tool cannot connect.

Electronic components age. Solder joints turn cold. Moisture attacks connectors. The inspection determines which cause applies.

Voltage spikes can also damage the unit. This happens, for example, with a weak battery or when jump-starting. You cannot see this from the outside. That is why every unit that is sent in is inspected before it is repaired.

Common error codes for Audi SQ5 FYB Sportback airbag control unit repair

The error codes on the Audi SQ5 FYB Sportback point to internal control unit faults, to the supply voltage or to the squib circuits of the airbags. They show in which area the system is disturbed.

These error codes are known:

  • 65535 → Control unit reports internal fault
  • 00532 → Supply voltage too low, intermittent
  • 00588 → Driver airbag squib, resistance fault
  • 00590 → Front passenger airbag squib, fault
  • 01217 → Side airbag squib, driver side, resistance fault
  • 01218 → Side airbag squib, passenger side, resistance fault

You read error codes with a diagnostic tool. A code alone does not prove that the control unit is defective. Connectors, wiring or an airbag module may also be to blame. Only the inspection provides clarity.

What part numbers are available for the Audi SQ5 FYB Sportback airbag control unit repair?

The part number is on the label of the control unit. It defines the exact version. Within the model series of the Audi SQ5 FYB Sportback there are different numbers depending on equipment and year of manufacture.

These part numbers are known. The list is not complete:

  • 80A959655Q
  • 80A959655R

Compare the number on your unit with this list. This only ensures that it is the right unit. Whether it is defective is shown only by reading out the fault memory or by the inspection.

First have the fault memory read out, then disconnect the battery. Next you remove the control unit, create a repair order online and send the unit in. Processing at Airbag24 usually takes 3–4 working days; this includes inspection, repair and testing, not shipping.

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.
