4.8What is a Ford Five Hundred 1 airbag control unit?
In the Ford Five Hundred 1, the airbag control unit is the central control unit of the restraint system (SRS). It reads in the signals from the crash sensors. In an accident it decides within milliseconds which airbags and seatbelt pretensioners to fire. If an impact has occurred, it stores crash data and locks itself.
This unit is fitted in the Ford Five Hundred 1 (2005 to 2007). It comes from Continental. The control unit monitors the entire system continuously. It shows every fault it detects via the airbag warning light.
When the ignition is switched on, the light comes on briefly and then goes out again. The self-test has then been passed. If the light stays on or flashes, there is a fault. The restraint system may then be switched off. Whether the airbags will deploy in an emergency is uncertain.
Why is the Ford Five Hundred 1 airbag control unit defective?
Most often the cause is crash data that an accident has left in the memory. This applies even if no airbag has fired. Other possible causes are aged electronic components, cold solder joints, moisture with corrosion on connectors, and voltage spikes. A standard diagnostic tool cannot delete stored crash data.
Voltage spikes arise, for example, from a weak battery or when jump-starting. Corrosion and moisture attack the connectors. With age, components wear out and solder joints turn cold. At first this shows up as occasional dropouts.
Typical signs: the airbag warning light stays on permanently. The fault memory cannot be cleared. The diagnostic tool cannot connect. The inspection shows whether the control unit is really to blame.
Common error codes for Ford Five Hundred 1 airbag control unit repair
The codes in the Ford Five Hundred 1 relate to internal faults of the control unit, disturbed communication, stored crash data and interrupted squib circuits. A diagnostic tool reads them out of the fault memory.
These entries are known for this vehicle, each with an explanation:
- B1342 → Internal fault in the airbag control unit
- U2017 → Memory fault in the restraint system control unit
- B1231 → Crash data stored in event memory, memory locked
- U0151 → Communication to the restraint system control unit lost
- B0001 → Squib circuit, driver front airbag, first stage interrupted
- B0002 → Squib circuit, driver front airbag, second stage interrupted
- B0010 → Squib circuit, passenger front airbag, first stage interrupted
- B0011 → Squib circuit, passenger front airbag, second stage interrupted
A single code does not prove that the control unit is defective. The cause can equally be a connector, wiring or an airbag module. Only the inspection brings clarity. When sending in the unit, please enclose the printout of the read-out if possible.
What part numbers are available for the Ford Five Hundred 1 airbag control unit repair?
Read the part number from the label on the control unit. It determines the exact version. Depending on equipment and year of manufacture, the numbers in the Ford Five Hundred 1 differ within the model series.
Known numbers for this vehicle are listed below. The list is not complete:
- 5G13-14B321-CB (Continental)
- 5G13-14B321-DB (Continental)
- 6G13-14B321-AA
- 6G13-14B321-BB
- 7G13-14B321-BA
- 7G13-14B321-FA
- 6G13-14B321-BA
Compare the number on your unit with the list. This only confirms that you are holding the right unit. Whether it is defective only becomes clear from the fault memory read-out or the inspection.
The route to repair: first have the fault memory read out. Then disconnect the battery and remove the control unit. Create a repair order online and send in the unit. Airbag24 inspects, repairs and tests it, as a rule, in 3–4 working days. 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.
