What is a Daihatsu Altis A210 airbag control unit?
The Daihatsu Altis A210 airbag control unit is the central safety unit that activates all occupant restraint systems in the event of an accident. It continuously monitors sensors, stores important crash data, and ensures the proper functioning of all airbag modules and seatbelt pretensioners in the vehicle for maximum occupant safety.
This microcontroller-based real-time control unit processes signals from various sensors to accurately detect accident situations. It is designed for Daihatsu Altis A210 models from 2012 to 2018.
The module sends precise trigger signals to the pyrotechnic systems of the airbags and seatbelt pretensioners when needed. Integrated self-diagnostics monitor system integrity and report malfunctions.
Why is the Daihatsu Altis A210 airbag control unit defective?
A Daihatsu Altis A210 airbag control unit often fails because crash data has been irretrievably stored after an accident or because internal electronic components fail due to age. Overvoltage or short circuits can also cause failure, impairing the function of the entire safety system.
The most common cause of a defect is the storage of crash data after a collision. This data blocks the control unit and requires professional repair or replacement to restore airbag function.
Internal electronic components can be damaged by aging or environmental influences such as moisture. This leads to malfunctions or complete system failure, which activates the airbag warning light in the dashboard.
Common error codes for Daihatsu Altis A210 airbag control unit repair
When repairing the Daihatsu Altis A210 airbag control unit, error code B1342 is a common indicator of a faulty control unit, as it signals stored crash data. Specific codes for the Altis A210 are rarely documented, but generic Daihatsu airbag error codes can indicate internal problems with the module.
- B1342 → Crash data stored → The airbag control unit has detected a collision and permanently stored the corresponding data, which prevents reactivation without resetting.
Other errors that can activate the airbag warning light include general internal control unit errors. An accurate diagnosis requires specialized diagnostic systems to identify the problem with the Daihatsu Altis A210 airbag control unit.
What part numbers are available for the Daihatsu Altis A210 airbag control unit repair?
For the Daihatsu Altis A210 airbag control unit repair, no exact OEM part numbers are currently publicly available from validated sources. Identifying the correct part number typically requires a comparison with the vehicle identification number (VIN) via official manufacturer catalogs or professional spare parts databases.
Without the vehicle identification number (VIN) and, if applicable, the serial number of the control unit, a 100% verified OEM part number is not possible. However, this is essential for legally compliant spare parts procurement.
We therefore strongly recommend consulting authorized Daihatsu workshops or specialized parts stores to determine the exact part number. This ensures the compatibility and safety of the repaired Daihatsu Altis A210 airbag control unit.
