4.8What is a Polestar 2 1st generation airbag control unit?
In the Polestar 2 1st generation, the airbag control unit is the central unit of the restraint system (SRS). It evaluates what the crash sensors report and, in an accident, triggers the appropriate airbags and seatbelt pretensioners within milliseconds. After an accident it stores crash data and locks itself.
The unit is fitted in the Polestar 2 1st generation (since 2020). It comes from Bosch. It runs a self-test as soon as the ignition is switched on, and after that it keeps the entire system under watch.
If the control unit finds an inconsistency, for example in a squib circuit, a sensor or a wire, it saves the fault in the fault memory and indicates it via the airbag warning light.
Why is the Polestar 2 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 on the connectors, and voltage spikes from a weak battery or jump-starting are also possible causes.
An ordinary diagnostic tool cannot remove stored crash data. In this case the control unit stays locked, even if everything on the vehicle itself is intact again.
How to recognise a problem: the airbag warning light stays on permanently, the fault memory cannot be cleared, or the diagnostic tool cannot establish contact with the control unit.
Common error codes for Polestar 2 1st generation airbag control unit repair
The error codes show in which part of the restraint system the fault occurs, for example in communication with other control units or in the airbag firing chain. They give a first indication, but do not replace testing the unit.
For the Polestar 2 1st generation, these codes occur most often. They point to lost communication or an interruption in the firing chain:
- U0151 → Communication with the airbag control unit lost
- B15381B → Interruption in the firing chain of the restraint system
Error codes are read out with a diagnostic tool. This does not necessarily mean the control unit is defective, as connectors, wires or an airbag module can also be the cause. Only testing shows where the fault actually lies.
What part numbers are available for the Polestar 2 1st generation airbag control unit repair?
You will find the part number, which defines the exact version, on the label of the control unit. Depending on equipment and year of manufacture, the numbers differ within a model series, so it is worth checking the label.
The following numbers are known for the Polestar 2 1st generation; the list makes no claim to completeness:
- P32269179 (Bosch)
- P32315772 (Bosch)
Hold the number on your unit next to this list. This only confirms that you have the right unit in your hands. Whether it is defective only becomes clear from reading out the fault memory or from testing.
The route to repair looks like this: first have the fault memory read out, then disconnect the battery. Next, remove the control unit, then create a repair order online, and finally send in the unit. At Airbag24, checking, repairing and testing usually take 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.
