The so-called airbag electronic crash unit controls the airbag deployment, exchanges information with the vehicle\u2019s engine, and stores crash data. However, one problem that you may encounter is when your airbag module doesn\u2019t communicate. The chances are that you\u2019re getting errors such as u1000 and u1088, or the module isn\u2019t communicating with the car. But what is causing the problem?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this article, we will share why there\u2019s no communication with your airbag module and what you can do about it:<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Common causes of no communication with an airbag module<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep in mind that the causes of no airbag module communication vary from one issue to another. As such, you have to get to the bottom of the problem to know what the necessary fix is. Below are some of the common reasons and what you may need to do:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Improperly grounded module:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If your airbag module is improperly grounded, it won\u2019t communicate at all. However, it\u2019s easy for people to overlook this problem. That said, be sure that the module is installed properly as designed so that it will perform as expected.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Damaged communication pins at plug:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The communication pins have a harness that connects to the front of the airbag module. Be sure to inspect them as they can be pushed back, bent, or damaged. Also, be on the lookout for possible signs of rust or corrosion.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Damaged wiring or harness:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If the wirings or harnesses around the airbag control module are worn out or broken, the module itself won\u2019t allow the module to communicate at all. That said, be sure these wires and harness are in top shape.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Scanner problem: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another problem encountered is not with the module itself but the scanner. More than anything else, be sure that it is actually working by reading the diagnostic codes. In fact, it should access your airbag system seamlessly and support your vehicle make and model.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Internally faulty module:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If you\u2019ve inspected all those mentioned above and everything\u2019s fine, but still the module isn\u2019t communicating, the problem may have to do with its internal components. Keep in mind that the module is an electronic circuit board. As with any electronic device, internal problems can happen unexpectedly. For this reason, the best course of action is to send your SRS module to a Safety Restore and we will check and fix it if necessary.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here at Safety Restore, we offer pre and post-accident services, such as airbag module reset, webbing replacement, instrument cluster repair, and seat belt repair in Westfield, MA.
