What is a Chrysler LHS LH airbag control module?
The Chrysler LHS LH Airbag Control Module is your vehicle's central safety unit. It continuously monitors relevant sensors, detects a collision in the event of an impact, and immediately deploys all passive restraint systems such as airbags and seatbelt pretensioners. This module also stores important crash data and ensures system integrity.
This specialized module acts as the brain of the airbag system and is typically located centrally in the vehicle interior. It communicates with various acceleration and pressure sensors throughout the vehicle.
Why is the Chrysler LHS LH airbag control unit defective?
A Chrysler LHS airbag control module often becomes defective or fails due to electrical surges, water damage, or airbag deployment in an accident. After a crash, the module stores crash data, which causes the system to lock up and requires repair or replacement to restore it.
Often, an electronic failure in the control unit itself causes the airbag warning light to stay on. A timely diagnosis at the workshop is crucial to identify the exact cause of the failure.
A malfunctioning airbag control unit significantly impairs occupant safety and must be repaired immediately.
