What is a Chrysler Concorde C airbag control unit?
The Chrysler Concorde C airbag control unit is the central safety unit in the vehicle, precisely activating all occupant restraint systems, such as airbags and seatbelt pretensioners, in the event of an accident. It continuously monitors sensors, stores relevant crash data, and ensures the proper functioning of the entire airbag system to provide maximum occupant safety.
This module, also known as the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) or SRS Airbag Control Module, contains an integrated impact sensor.
It has a microprocessor that processes complex logic algorithms to detect critical accident situations.
The power supply is provided by an integrated capacitor, which ensures that the airbags are deployed quickly if necessary.
Why is the Chrysler Concorde C airbag control unit defective?
A Chrysler Concorde C airbag control unit can fail for a variety of reasons, often after an accident, as it stores crash data and then deactivates. Internal electrical malfunctions, voltage fluctuations, or aging can also cause failure, activating the airbag warning light and compromising safety.
After an airbag is deployed, the control unit stores crash information and usually needs to be reset or repaired to become functional again.
Internal component defects on the circuit board or corrosion on connectors are other common causes of failure.
Sometimes problems with the power supply or data bus communication can also damage the airbag control unit.
Common error codes for Chrysler Concorde C airbag control unit repair
During a Chrysler Concorde C airbag control unit repair, specific error codes may occur that indicate internal problems or communication errors within the module. These codes help diagnose whether the control unit itself is defective or whether a crash data reset is simply required.
- B1000 → Control unit communication error → Airbag ECU
- B1B02 → Squib Circuit Open (e.g. airbag ignition circuit) → Airbag ECU
- B1B06 → Squib Circuit Short Circuit → Airbag ECU
- B1B04 → Driver Airbag Squib 2 Circuit Low → Airbag ECU
- B1B05 → Driver Airbag Squib 2 Circuit Short Circuit → Airbag ECU
These DTCs are crucial for accurate diagnosis and successful Chrysler Concorde C airbag control unit repair.
Reading these error codes is the first step in determining whether the module needs to be repaired or replaced.
