Airbag control unit Fiat 500 was broken. Hard to believe but they can really repair it! Recommendation!!
Automatically translated · Original: German
From the first phone call, the order processing, to the shipping, everything was done very quickly and professionally. Now I still have to send the repaired unit to the Swedish workshop and then hopefully the Honda can finally pass the HU there again (failed because of the red airbag light). Thanks to Airbag 24 in Berlin 👍👏. Gerd

What is a Ford Explorer 2 UN105 airbag control unit?
In the event of a collision, the Ford Explorer 2 UN105 airbag control unit, as the central control unit of the restraint system (SRS), decides within milliseconds which airbags and seatbelt pretensioners to fire. To do so, it reads in the signals from the crash sensors and evaluates them. If an accident has occurred, it stores the crash data and locks itself.
In the Ford Explorer 2 UN105 (1995 to 2001), the unit performs this task for the entire restraint system. Its decision is made before the occupants even perceive the impact.
Between two accidents, the control unit is busy with monitoring tasks: it continuously checks itself and the connected components. If it finds a fault, it enters it in the fault memory and makes the airbag warning light come on. If the unit fails, the restraint system in your Ford is no longer ready for use.
Why is the Ford Explorer 2 UN105 airbag control unit defective?
Most often the cause is crash data stored in the unit after an accident, even if no airbag was deployed. Ageing components, cold solder joints, corrosion and moisture at the connectors, or voltage spikes may also be the cause.
An ordinary diagnostic tool cannot remove stored crash data. The control unit therefore stays locked, and the warning light in the instrument cluster does not go out, even if the other components are working perfectly.
Other sources of faults develop gradually: over the years, electronic components wear out, and heat and vibration while driving make solder joints brittle. If moisture gets in, the contacts of the connectors corrode. A weak battery or a jump start can produce voltage spikes that damage the electronics.
A defect becomes noticeable when the airbag warning light stays on permanently, the fault memory cannot be reset, or the diagnostic tool cannot establish contact with the control unit.
Common error codes for Ford Explorer 2 UN105 airbag control unit repair
The stored codes assign a fault to an area: communication, the control unit itself, the firing circuits or the crash data. Which code is in the fault memory depends on the particular fault pattern.
The following codes are known for the Ford Explorer 2 UN105, among others:
- B1342 → Internal fault in the airbag control unit
- U2017 → Memory fault in the restraint system control unit
- B1231 → Crash memory occupied, accident data stored
- U0151 → Communication with the restraint system control unit lost
- B0001 → Driver front airbag, first stage, firing circuit interrupted
- B0002 → Driver front airbag, second stage, firing circuit interrupted
- B0010 → Passenger front airbag, first stage, firing circuit interrupted
- B0011 → Passenger front airbag, second stage, firing circuit interrupted
The codes are read out with a diagnostic tool. A single code leaves open whether the control unit is really defective, as connectors, wiring or an airbag module can equally cause the fault. Only testing brings clarity. Please enclose the read-out report with your shipment.
What part numbers are available for the Ford Explorer 2 UN105 airbag control unit repair?
You will find the part number on the label of your control unit. It defines the exact version, because different numbers occur within a model series depending on equipment and year of manufacture.
The following numbers are known for the Ford Explorer 2 UN105, although this list does not claim to be complete:
- DB5T-14B321-AF
- GB5T-14B321-AC
- XL2A-14B321-ED
- XL2Z-14B321-EB
Compare the number on your unit with this list. This only tells you that it is the matching unit. Whether there is a defect only becomes clear from reading out the fault memory or from testing.
The path to repair: first have the fault memory read out, disconnect the battery from the vehicle electrical system and remove the control unit. Then create a repair order online and send the unit to Airbag24. Checking, repairing and testing usually take 3–4 working days with us. 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.
