Ford Galaxy Airbag Control Module Replacement Parts

Yes, all Ford Galaxy variants were fitted with an airbag control module (also called the SRS control unit) as standard, regardless of engine or trim level. It is the central unit that monitors the car's airbag sensors and triggers deployment in a collision. Because this is a safety-critical component, always have it fitted by a qualified technician.

These are two distinct generations — the first-generation Galaxy ran from 1995 to 2006, and the second-generation (the Ford-built model on the S-MAX platform) ran from 2006 to 2015 — and the two are not interchangeable. Even within the same generation, airbag module compatibility with a specific car's SRS system is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration before buying. Never fit a used airbag module without professional installation and proper system checks.

The second-generation Galaxy received a facelift around 2010, which brought changes to exterior styling and some interior updates, but the airbag control module sits within the SRS system rather than being a cosmetic part. Whether the pre- and post-facelift modules are interchangeable is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration, as SRS system variants can differ. A breaker will be able to check the part number against your reg to advise correctly.

For the Ford Galaxy, trim level does not generally determine which airbag control module is fitted, as the SRS control unit is tied to the generation and overall vehicle specification rather than trim name alone. That said, higher trims may have additional airbag or sensor configurations, so it is worth confirming the specific module compatibility with the breaker against your registration to be sure. Do not assume a module from any trim will be a straight swap without that check.

Used airbag control modules are available from breakers and can be a cost-effective option, but there are important safety considerations: the module must not have been triggered in a previous deployment, and it must be compatible with your car's specific SRS system. Always confirm with the breaker that the unit has not fired and ask them to verify compatibility against your registration. Fitting must be carried out by a qualified technician who can reset and test the system — this is not a DIY job.

The Ford Galaxy was offered in various seating layouts, and differences in seat configuration or trim can sometimes mean differences in the pretensioner and side-airbag setup connected to the SRS module. Because pretensioner variants can differ, you should confirm the exact module compatibility with the breaker against your registration rather than assuming any Galaxy module will fit. A reputable breaker will cross-reference the part number to your specific vehicle before supplying.
