The risk
Incorrectly parameterised airbag control units may have been fitted. On incorrectly parameterised airbag control units the diagnosis function of the side crash sensors is deactivated. Therefore, a potential fault in the side airbag system cannot be recognised and the airbag warning light does not come on.
