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 Pontiac G3 1st generation airbag control unit?
The Pontiac G3 1st generation airbag control unit is the central control unit of the restraint system (SRS). It evaluates the signals from the crash sensors and, in an accident, decides within milliseconds which airbags and seatbelt pretensioners to deploy. It also monitors the system continuously and reports faults via the airbag warning light.
Every time you start the engine, the airbag control unit runs a self-test, and the airbag warning light goes out again after a few moments. The control unit is fitted in the Pontiac G3 1st generation (2009 to 2010) and also keeps monitoring all sensors and squib circuits while you drive.
If it detects a fault, the warning light stays on. In an accident, it decides within milliseconds whether to deploy. After an accident, it stores crash data and locks itself.
Why is the Pontiac G3 1st generation airbag control unit defective?
The most common cause is crash data stored after an accident, even if no airbag deployed. Other possible causes are aged electronic components, cold solder joints, moisture and corrosion on connectors, and voltage spikes.
Stored crash data cannot be erased with an ordinary diagnostic tool. The control unit therefore stays locked even after the bodywork has been repaired.
Voltage spikes arise, for example, from a weak battery or from jump-starting. Over the years, components on the circuit board also age, solder joints become brittle, and moisture can cause corrosion on the contacts of the connectors.
Typical signs are a permanently lit airbag warning light, a fault memory that cannot be cleared, or a diagnostic tool that cannot connect to the control unit.
Common error codes for Pontiac G3 1st generation airbag control unit repair
The codes concern internal control unit faults, communication with other systems, the power supply and the squib circuits of the driver airbag.
The following list shows fault codes that occur with this vehicle in connection with the airbag control unit.
- B1000 → Internal fault of the airbag control unit
- U0151 → Communication with the restraint system control unit lost
- B1325 → Control unit supply voltage too low
- B0012 → Driver airbag squib circuit is interrupted (open circuit)
- B0013 → Driver airbag squib circuit shorted to ground
Depending on the case, the unit shows one or more of these codes. Fault codes are read out with a diagnostic tool. A code alone does not reliably show that the control unit is defective: connectors, wiring or an airbag module can also be the cause. Only the inspection clarifies where the fault lies.
What part numbers are available for the Pontiac G3 1st generation airbag control unit repair?
The part number is printed on the label of the control unit and determines the exact version. Within a model series there are different numbers depending on equipment and year of manufacture, so please state it in the repair order.
We currently have no list of known part numbers for this vehicle. Please therefore read the number directly from the label of your unit and enter it in the repair order. This ensures that we have the right unit in front of us. Whether it is defective is only shown by reading out the fault memory or by the inspection.
This is how you get to the repair: first have the fault memory read out, then disconnect the battery and remove the control unit. Then create a repair order online and send in the unit. Processing at Airbag24, with inspection, repair and testing, usually takes 3–4 working days. You receive your own unit back, repaired.
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.
