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 Esprit V8 airbag control unit?
The airbag control unit is the central control unit of the restraint system (SRS) in the Lotus Esprit V8. It reads out the crash sensors. In an accident, it determines within milliseconds which airbags and seatbelt pretensioners deploy. In normal operation it constantly monitors the system and indicates faults with the airbag warning light.
The unit is part of the SRS of the Lotus Esprit V8 from the 1996 to 2004 model series. It is a pure safety component. You do not notice it in everyday use.
After an accident it stores crash data and locks itself. You can tell by the warning light.
Why is the Lotus Esprit V8 airbag control unit defective?
The cause is usually stored crash data left behind after an accident, even without a deployed airbag; a normal diagnostic tool does not erase it. Ageing components, cold solder joints, moisture and corrosion on connectors, as well as voltage spikes, are other possible causes.
Voltage spikes can occur when the battery is weak. Jump-starting also strains the electronics. Old components fail over time. Cold solder joints lose contact. Moisture makes plug connections corrode.
Please note for this model: airbags were fitted to only some of the vehicles, mainly export versions. Only these have an airbag control unit.
Signs are a warning light that stays on, a fault memory that cannot be cleared, or a diagnostic tool that cannot connect.
Common error codes for Lotus Esprit V8 airbag control unit repair
What the error codes in the Lotus Esprit V8 look like is set by the manufacturer. A diagnostic tool reads them from the fault memory. The codes point to communication faults, internal control unit faults, firing circuits or crash data.
We cannot name any codes for this vehicle. If you have had the fault memory read out, take the printout with you. Include it with your shipment. This saves time during the inspection.
Please note: a code does not prove a fault in the control unit. Connectors, wiring and airbag modules may also be the cause. The inspection provides clarity.
What part numbers are available for the Lotus Esprit V8 airbag control unit repair?
You will find the part number on the label of the control unit. It determines the exact version. Within a model series, the numbers differ depending on equipment and year of manufacture.
These part numbers are known to us for the Lotus Esprit V8. The list is not exhaustive.
- A082M6446F
- A082M6576F
Hold the number on your unit next to the list. This way you can be sure it is the right unit. The comparison says nothing about a fault. Reading out the fault memory or our inspection will clarify that.
The route to repair is short. Have the fault memory read out. Disconnect the battery. Remove the control unit. Create a repair order online and send in the unit. As a rule, processing at Airbag24 takes 3–4 working days, covering inspection, repair and testing.
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.
