Hyundai i10 Airbag Control Module Replacement Parts

Yes, all generations of the Hyundai i10 sold in the UK were fitted with a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) including an airbag control module (also called an airbag ECU or SRS module), which manages the airbags and seat belt pretensioners. It is present regardless of engine size or trim level, so every i10 will have one. If yours has been triggered in an accident, bear in mind the module is a single-use component and will need replacing rather than resetting in most cases.

The first-generation i10 ran from 2008 to 2013, and the second generation (IA) ran from 2014 to 2019, so these are entirely different platforms with different SRS architectures. A module from the first generation is very unlikely to be compatible with the second, and you should not assume any crossover. Always confirm compatibility with the breaker against your exact registration before purchasing.

The second-generation i10 (2014–2019) received a facelift around 2016–2017, which brought styling and equipment updates, and there may have been changes to the SRS system configuration. Whether a pre-facelift module is compatible with a post-facelift car is not something we can confirm as fact, so you should check with the breaker using your registration number to be sure. This is especially important for a safety-critical component like this one.

For the Hyundai i10, trim level can influence the number and type of airbags fitted — for example, higher trims like Premium or Premium SE may include side or curtain airbags that lower trims such as S do not — which can affect the SRS module specification. Because of this, you should confirm with the breaker that the donor vehicle's trim and airbag configuration matches yours. Airbag module compatibility with your specific SRS setup is something only the breaker can verify against your registration.

Engine type does not directly determine which airbag control module your i10 needs — this is an interior safety system matched to the generation, trim, and SRS configuration of the car, not the engine. You can set aside any concern about whether the donor car had a 1.0 or 1.2 petrol engine. Focus instead on matching generation and trim level, and confirm the full SRS specification with the breaker using your registration.

Airbag control modules are safety-critical components, and we strongly recommend having one fitted by a qualified automotive technician or specialist — incorrect installation can result in airbags failing to deploy in a collision or deploying unexpectedly, both of which are extremely dangerous. A used module should also be from a car where the airbags were not deployed, as the module will have logged a fault and may not function correctly. Always ask the breaker to confirm the donor vehicle's airbag history before buying.
