The unit is usually located in the central console area or under the passenger seat, depending on the model.

Durability and Maintenance

Typically, the airbag control unit does not require regular maintenance; however, it may fail due to electrical faults, water damage, or after an airbag deployment incident. It is recommended to have the system inspected after any accident or if the airbag warning light appears.
