Is it dangerous to drive with a faulty control module?

Yes, extremely — this is one of the most serious safety faults a vehicle can have, and it should be diagnosed and repaired immediately by a qualified technician before continuing to drive.

Can a used control module be fitted from a scrapped vehicle?

Only if it’s confirmed to have never been deployed or involved in a collision, and it will require reprogramming to the new vehicle — new or certified reconditioned units are generally the safer, more reliable choice.

What is the module made of?

A sealed electronic circuit board with crash-detection algorithms, in a robust housing.

Signs of a faulty part

If you notice any of the following, the part likely needs replacement:

Airbag warning light on the dashboard
Diagnostic fault code related to the control module itself
Multiple airbag-related faults appearing simultaneously

Installation information

Bolts to the vehicle chassis, typically under the centre console — requires specialist programming to the vehicle after replacement, and must never be sourced from a vehicle that has been in a collision.

Frequently asked questions

It’s the decision-making centre — it interprets all the crash sensors and controls deployment of every airbag in the vehicle, so any fault here can affect the entire system’s ability to protect occupants.

I ordered a Heater Blower Motor Resistor for a Toyota Avensis. Delivery took eight days from Latvia to Ireland. I installed it, and everything works perfectly. I wish this company success.

No complaints about Evro Trans itself, everything's fine. But the delivery..... It felt like the order was being carried by turtles. 4 days from Riga to Daugavpils. Judging by the tracking, the parcel just sat somewhere behind a shed for 3 days, then they found it and delivered it the next day. I think that's why I won't be ordering there again.

Bought a front fender for my car. I liked it! After payment they sent more than 20 photos of the problem areas, and it was packed very securely - took a while to unwrap.
