What is a BMW i4 G26 airbag control unit?
The BMW i4 G26 airbag control unit is the central safety unit in your all-electric vehicle. It precisely activates all occupant restraint systems such as airbags and seatbelt pretensioners in the event of an accident, continuously monitors connected sensors, and stores important crash data to ensure occupant safety.
It has been specially developed and optimized for the all-electric BMW i4 of the G26 series from model year 2021.
This module processes signals from front, side, and curtain airbag sensors, as well as seat belt pretensioners. It is an integral part of the overall safety system.
The control unit can be repaired and reset after a deployment or in the event of a defect. This allows crash data to be erased and makes the module ready for use again for BMW i4 G26 airbag control unit repair.
Why is the BMW i4 G26 airbag control unit defective?
A BMW i4 G26 airbag control unit can fail because it stores crash data after an accident and then needs to be reset. Electrical problems such as corrosion in connectors, short circuits, or internal component failure often lead to module failure, making a specialized BMW i4 G26 airbag control unit repair unavoidable.
If airbags are deployed, the control unit permanently stores the accident events. Without professional deletion of this crash data, the module will not be operational again.
Other causes of failure include water ingress, overvoltage, or age-related wear of internal components. Such damage can impair the function of the entire airbag system.
Signs of a faulty control unit include persistent airbag warning lights on the dashboard. A quick diagnosis is essential for your safety.
