A faulty condenser may have been fitted inside the airbag control unit.
Learn MoreThe faulty condenser can result in either of the following consequences
1. deactivation of the airbag. If the airbag system is switched off, the airbag warning lamp will illuminate.
2. inadvertent activation of airbags or seatbelt pretensioners. The control unit may interpret the faulty condenser as a crash signal (faulty front crash detection), which could cause the airbag(s) and/or seatbelt pretensioner(s) to be triggered incorrectly.
If the airbag is deactivated or is inadvertently activated, this increases the risk of an accident and injury to the vehicle occupants and other road users.
