Used Hyundai Ioniq 5 Airbag Control Module

Yes, all Hyundai Ioniq 5 models are fitted with an airbag control module (also called the SRS control unit) as standard across the full range. It manages the deployment of airbags and pretensioner seat belts throughout the car. Because this is a safety-critical component, professional fitting is strongly recommended, and you should never fit a module that has previously been deployed.

The Hyundai Ioniq 5 launched in the UK in 2021 and is a single generation spanning 2021 onwards, so a 2022 module and a 2021 module are from the same generation and are broadly likely to be compatible. That said, airbag module compatibility with a specific car's SRS system is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration before purchasing. Never assume fitment without that check on a safety-critical part like this.

Engine type makes no difference to the airbag control module on the Ioniq 5, and drivetrain layout is also unlikely to be a determining factor for this part. What matters more is the generation and trim level of the vehicle. Always confirm the specific module compatibility with the breaker against your registration, as variants within the same model can sometimes carry different SRS configurations.

The Ioniq 5 was sold in the UK across trims including SE Connect, Premium, and Ultimate, and trim level can potentially affect the SRS system configuration depending on differences in seat and airbag specification between grades. Because pretensioner variants and SRS system compatibility are details you should not assume, confirm with the breaker exactly which trim the donor module came from and cross-check it against your registration. This is especially important on a safety-critical part where an incorrect module must never be fitted.

Airbag control modules are safety-critical components, and professional fitting by a qualified technician is strongly recommended — this is not a DIY job for most people. A used module must not have been previously deployed, as airbag systems are single-use; always confirm the unit's history with the breaker before buying. A specialist will also be able to ensure the module is correctly coded or initialised to your vehicle's SRS system, which is essential for it to function properly.

The Hyundai Ioniq 5 received a facelift update, and it is possible that SRS system specification changed across that revision, meaning a pre-facelift module may not be a straightforward swap into a facelifted car or vice versa. Because airbag module compatibility with a specific car's SRS system is something that cannot be safely assumed, you must confirm compatibility with the breaker against your exact registration. Never fit a mismatched airbag control module — the consequences of an incorrectly configured SRS system in a collision can be severe.
