• The first clear symptom is the illuminated warning light.
• In diagnostics, errors such as crash, internal failure, or stored impact data may be found.
• Usually, it does not allow the deletion of faults and does not store new ones.
• In some vehicles, if the incident is minor, it is possible to perform the reset via self-diagnosis.

Intervention Information and Precautions: Resetting the airbag control unit after an incident is a process that involves deleting recorded errors and reactivating the airbag system in the vehicle. After an incident, airbag sensors may register events and generate error codes indicating a potential issue in the system. These codes are stored in the airbag control unit.

The reset of the airbag control unit should be performed by a specialized technician, restoring the airbag system to a normal operational state.
