Lost Communication with Restraints Control Module (Airbag)

Understand U0151, common causes, and the right TOPDON scanner to diagnose it.

Airbag module offline — SRS light on, airbags may not deploy in a crash until repaired.

Vanliga symptom

  • Airbag light on
  • Horn or cruise inop (clock spring)

Typiska orsaker

  • SRS module fault
  • Clock spring
  • Impact sensor wiring
  • Aftermarket seat swap without resistor

Vilken scanner behöver du?

Full-system scanner (engine, ABS, SRS, transmission, service resets)

Använd live-data och freeze frame innan du byter delar. ABS-, SRS- och U-koder kräver oftast en fullsystems-scanner.

Diagnostiktips

  • Spara freeze frame när koden först sätts
  • Rensa koden först efter att orsaken är åtgärdad
  • Kontrollera relaterade väntande koder
  • Verifiera batterispänning över 12,4 V innan du misstänker sensorer
