These control units are fitted to various models manufactured between 2016-2020, including the Audi A3 and Volkswagen Golf. When defective, the airbag light will illuminate, a B200000 code will store, and functionality of the control module will be lost.
Driving with a defective airbag control module is never recommended and an illuminated airbag warning light indicates there’s an issue with something in the system. In this scenario, it can’t be guaranteed that the airbags will deploy correctly in an emergency.
If your airbag warning light is on and your Audi or Volkswagen has a B200000 DTC stored, send us your airbag module for comprehensive testing. We’ll let you know conclusively whether your ECU is defective, and if it is, we’ll remanufacture it within 2-3 working days with a lifetime warranty included.
Audi & Volkswagen B200000 Fault Explained
As mentioned, these airbag control modules frequently suffer internal failures that render the unit defective. Of course, when this happens, unit functionality is inevitably lost.
Like many control units across the vehicle, the airbag ECU regularly performs self-checks to ensure it’s fully functional, this is typically carried out upon start-up. When one of these checks fails, a B200000 code can be stored:
- B200000 – Control Module Faulty
When the airbag ECU stores a DTC in its memory, this is communicated across the CAN bus. This allows other control modules to understand that there’s a potential issue related to the airbag system.
Inevitably, the instrument cluster reacts by illuminating the airbag warning light. As well as this, other control modules may restrict certain functions if it now isn’t safe to deploy them – for example, adaptive cruise control and front assist.
When your Audi or Volkswagen’s airbag control module develops the common internal malfunction, it causes a self-check failure, triggering the aforementioned process and causing B200000 to store.
Audi & Volkswagen B200000 Solution
Having diagnosed their B200000 DTC as being caused by a defective airbag ECU, many Audi and Volkswagen owners mistakenly choose to replace it with a brand-new one.
Not only is this solution an expensive one, it’s not always the most effective either. What many don’t consider is that these units are caused to fail as a result of a widespread internal defect which may also be present in replacement modules. This can lead owners towards extortionately priced replacement units which only resolve their issues temporarily.
Thankfully, we’ve developed a much more effective solution. We’re the experts at remanufacturing airbag control modules so that long-lasting functionality is restored safely and properly. Simply fill out our test form to get started today.
