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 MG 3 1st generation airbag control unit?
As the central control unit of the restraint system (SRS) in the MG 3 1st generation, the airbag control unit processes the signals from the crash sensors and, in an accident, determines within milliseconds which airbags and seatbelt pretensioners deploy. It monitors the system continuously and indicates faults via the airbag warning light. If the vehicle has been in an accident, the unit stores crash data and locks itself.
The control unit is installed in the MG 3 1st generation (2013 to 2024) and comes from ZF TRW. Its task is to derive the severity of an impact from the sensor readings and then to trigger only those restraints that are needed in the situation at hand, with only a tiny span of time between measurement and firing.
Even when nothing happens, the unit stays active: when the ignition is switched on it checks itself, and during operation it keeps an eye on the squib circuits, the sensors and its own electronics. If it finds a deviation, it writes an entry to the fault memory and makes the airbag warning light in the instrument cluster come on.
Why is the MG 3 1st generation airbag control unit defective?
Most often the cause is crash data stored in the unit after an accident, even if no airbag deployed. Ageing electronic components, cold solder joints, moisture and corrosion at the connectors, and voltage spikes, for example from a weak battery or jump-starting, are also possible.
These crash data cannot be removed with an ordinary diagnostic tool. In older vehicles, components and solder joints also tire over the years, while moisture attacks the contacts of the connectors and voltage spikes in the vehicle electrical system put additional strain on the electronics.
How you can tell there is a defect: the airbag warning light stays on permanently, the fault memory cannot be cleared, or the diagnostic tool cannot make contact with the control unit. In that case it is worth having the unit checked, rather than continuing to ignore the light and driving with an unclear state of the restraint system.
Common error codes for MG 3 1st generation airbag control unit repair
The error codes for the MG 3 1st generation airbag control unit assign a fault to an area of the restraint system, namely communication, the squib circuits, the crash sensors or the stored crash data. They give a first indication, but do not replace a check of the unit.
The codes that occur on this vehicle include the following:
- B193E → Deployment recording memory is full
- B1932 → Crash data of the frontal deployment stored
- U0151 → Communication with airbag control unit lost
- B0001 → Driver front airbag squib circuit faulty
- B0010 → Passenger front airbag squib circuit faulty
- B0090 → Left frontal crash sensor faulty
- B0095 → Right frontal crash sensor faulty
Error codes are read out with a diagnostic tool. The appearance of a code does not yet prove a defect of the control unit, because faulty wiring, connectors or an airbag module may equally be the cause. Which cause applies only emerges during the check, which narrows the fault down on the unit itself.
What part numbers are available for the MG 3 1st generation airbag control unit repair?
You will find the part number on the label of the control unit, and it defines the exact version. Depending on equipment and year of manufacture, the numbers differ even within the same model series.
Known numbers for the MG 3 1st generation are in this list, which is not complete:
- 10104458/01 (ZF TRW)
- 10169028/01 (ZF TRW)
- 30010435/09 (ZF TRW)
Compare the number of your unit with the list; this only ensures that it is the right unit. Whether there is a defect is clarified only by reading out the fault memory or by the check.
The path to repair: first have the fault memory read out, disconnect the battery and remove the control unit. Then create a repair order online and send in the unit. At Airbag24, checking, repairing and testing usually take 3–4 working days, and you get your own unit back.
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.
