Works like a charm!
Everything went perfectly, I can only recommend it.

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 light for the airbag). Today the message came from SWE, the car is running again, the red light is off and the HU was also passed. Once again many thanks for the help in need. Keep it up and maybe word will also spread in SWE that Airbag 24 does great work. Regards Gerd

Everything worked out great! Read out fault memory, sent it in, received offer and sent in the defective control unit. Got it back repaired after 3 days, price exactly as in the offer. It can't get any better 👍

What is an Lotus Elise Series 2 airbag control unit?
In the moment of a crash, the airbag control unit in the Lotus Elise Series 2 decides within milliseconds which airbags and seatbelt pretensioners deploy. As the core of the restraint system (SRS), it continuously monitors all components. If an accident has occurred, the unit stores the crash data and locks itself.
To do this, the unit evaluates the signals from the crash sensors and constantly compares them with its deployment criteria. When a crash is detected, only a fraction of a second remains for the decision.
The control unit is fitted in the Lotus Elise Series 2 (2001 to 2011); it comes from Siemens VDO. Even in normal operation it checks itself and the connected components. If it finds a fault, it shows it via the airbag warning light.
Why is the Lotus Elise Series 2 airbag control unit defective?
Most often the cause is crash data stored after an accident, even if no airbag deployed; a normal diagnostic tool cannot erase it. Other possible causes are aged electronic components, cold solder joints, moisture and corrosion at connectors, and voltage spikes.
A weak battery or jump-starting can, for example, trigger voltage spikes in the vehicle electrical system. Electronic components age over time, and solder joints can develop hairline cracks that cause contact faults. If moisture gets into a connector, the contacts corrode and the signal becomes unreliable.
Signs of a defect are an airbag warning light that no longer goes out, a fault memory that cannot be cleared, and a diagnostic tool that cannot connect to the control unit. Not every vehicle of this model series has airbags: an airbag control unit is only fitted in vehicles with airbag equipment.
Common error codes for Lotus Elise Series 2 airbag control unit repair
The error codes on a Lotus Elise Series 2 mainly point to faults in the firing circuits of the front airbags. They are stored in the fault memory of the control unit and can be read out with a diagnostic tool.
The following codes occur in this repair. They name the circuit in which the control unit has detected a deviation.
- B0001 → Driver front airbag, firing circuit faulty
- B0010 → Passenger front airbag, firing circuit faulty
A code alone does not reliably show that the control unit is defective. The cause may just as well lie in connectors, wiring or an airbag module. Only the inspection clarifies where the fault actually lies.
What part numbers are available for the Lotus Elise Series 2 airbag control unit repair?
The part number on the label of the control unit shows the exact version. Depending on equipment and year of manufacture, different numbers are in circulation within the model series, so it is worth looking at the label.
The following part numbers are known for the Lotus Elise Series 2; the list makes no claim to completeness.
- A121B0060F
Look for the number of your unit in this list. This only tells you whether it is the matching unit. Only reading out the fault memory or the inspection at Airbag24 shows whether the unit is actually defective.
For the repair, proceed as follows: have the fault memory read out, disconnect the battery and remove the control unit. Then create your repair order online and send us the removed unit. Processing at Airbag24, including inspection, repair and testing, usually takes 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.
