Motorhome Airbag Modules and Common Issues
Have you ever noticed the airbag warning light in your Fiat Ducato / Peugeot Boxer / Citroen Relay based motorhome suddenly turning on? Airbag modules in Fiat Ducato / Peugeot Boxer / Citroen Relay based motorhomes can fail for several reasons. Sometimes, it’s due to corrosion from moisture, especially around the air conditioning system . Other times, issues with the battery, like low voltage or incorrect replacement procedures, many times is can be a simply a one off event like jump starting can cause problems. Electrical issues and even manufacturing defects can also be culprits. These errors can prevent your airbags from deploying correctly during an accident, putting your safety at risk.
Issues with the airbag system can be indicated with a simple airbag light on the dash, a text warning “CHECK AIRBAG SEE HANDBOOK” or the area where the mileage displays flashing on and off.
Resetting your airbag module can be a cost-effective way to solve these problems. When you reset the module, all the stored fault codes are cleared, ensuring that the system is ready to protect you in case of a collision. Sometimes modules may be deemed to be damaged beyond repair, in which case we would recommend a new one, although this is a small percentage of the overall workload we do ensure stock of new modules should you wish to proceed with a new unit.
At CrashData, we have 25 years of experience with these particular modules, repairing multiple units on a daily basis. All modules are fully tested after repair, using our purpose-built testing rigs that can accommodate 16 modules per rig at a time, meaning we’re able to facilitate over 100 modules of this kind daily, running automated function tests for a post repair diagnostics for pre-set period. All repairs are also sent out with a diahgnostic test report to show that the B0100 fault has not reoccurred during this one hour post repair period. In the event that your module has a B0101 or B0102 fault, or isn’t communicating, and is therefore unrepairable, we are able to offer you a brand-new genuine replacement module. We also offer a pre coding service (plug & play), to ensure that you’re able to get back on the road as soon as possible.
