Hyundai Getz Airbag Control Module Replacement Parts

Yes, the Hyundai Getz was fitted with an airbag system including an airbag control module (also called an SRS ECU or airbag ECU) as standard across its production run from 2002 to 2009. The module controls the deployment of the airbags and is located in the cabin, typically under the centre console or dashboard area. If yours has been triggered in an accident, bear in mind it is a single-use component and will need replacing — always have airbag system work carried out by a qualified technician.

The Getz received a facelift in 2005, and while the basic bodyshell carried over, changes to interior trim and electronics mean the airbag control module from a pre-facelift car may not be directly compatible with a post-facelift car. You should name the boundary as a real concern here: crossing from pre-2005 to post-2005 is where compatibility becomes uncertain. Always confirm the part number and SRS system compatibility with the breaker against your exact registration before purchasing.

Trim level can influence the airbag system fitted — for example, a higher-spec Getz may have had side airbags or additional sensors that a base-spec car did not, and the control module must match the SRS configuration in your car. The Getz was sold in the UK in trim levels including Base, GSi, and CDX, with higher trims more likely to include additional airbag coverage. Confirm with the breaker which SRS system variant your car has, as fitting a module from a different trim could mean it does not match your car's sensors or warning system.

The Getz was offered in both 3-door and 5-door bodystyles, and door count can matter for the airbag module if the two variants had different SRS configurations — for instance, if curtain or side airbags differ between them. In practice the frontal airbag system is often shared, but you should confirm with the breaker whether the module you are buying came from a 3-door or 5-door car to be safe. Never assume the modules are identical across body styles without checking part numbers against your registration.

No, the engine variant does not affect which airbag control module you need — this is an interior safety system matched to the generation, trim, and body configuration of the car, not the drivetrain. Whether your Getz has a 1.1, 1.3, or 1.6 petrol engine, or a diesel variant, makes no difference to airbag module compatibility. Focus instead on matching the generation (pre- or post-2005 facelift), trim level, and confirming the SRS system configuration with the breaker.

Airbag systems are safety-critical, and fitting or coding an airbag control module incorrectly can result in accidental deployment or, equally dangerously, the system failing to deploy in a real accident. In the UK it is strongly recommended — and in many cases required for an MOT — that airbag system components are fitted and reset by a qualified technician with the appropriate diagnostic equipment. A used module may also need to be reset or recoded to your vehicle's SRS system, so factor in professional fitting costs when budgeting for this repair.
