Second Hand Nissan NV200 Airbag Control Module

Yes, the Nissan NV200 is fitted with an airbag control module (also called the SRS module or airbag ECU) as standard across its production run in the UK market. It manages the deployment of the airbags and works in conjunction with the pretensioner seat belts, making it a safety-critical component. If yours has been triggered in an accident, bear in mind the module is single-use after deployment and will need replacing, and professional fitting is strongly recommended.

The Nissan NV200 ran as a single generation in the UK throughout its production, but there was a facelift around 2013 that brought interior and electrical updates, so a pre-facelift module from a 2010 car and a post-facelift module from a 2016 car may not be directly compatible. You should confirm with the breaker that the part number from their donor vehicle matches your registration before buying. Because airbag modules are safety-critical, professional fitting and post-installation reset or coding is strongly recommended.

The NV200 was offered in various trim levels in the UK including SE, Acenta, and Tekna variants, and differences in seating configuration or the number of airbags fitted across trims could affect which module is correct for your vehicle. Confirm with the breaker that the module from their donor vehicle matches your specific trim and SRS system setup, quoting your registration plate. As with all airbag components, professional installation is strongly advised.

Yes, this is likely to matter. The Combi version has additional rear seating and may have side or curtain airbags that the standard panel van does not, meaning the SRS module in each is potentially calibrated differently. Always tell the breaker whether your NV200 is the panel van or the Combi, and confirm the module from their donor vehicle matches your body style and airbag configuration against your registration. Professional fitting and system reset is essential for this safety-critical part.

Engine type does not directly determine which airbag control module your NV200 needs, as the SRS system is matched to the body style, generation, and trim rather than to the petrol or diesel drivetrain. Focus instead on confirming the generation, body style (van or Combi), and trim level match between your car and the donor vehicle at the breaker. Always confirm compatibility against your registration with the breaker, and have the module fitted and reset by a qualified technician.

Not necessarily; a non-deployed airbag warning light can be caused by a fault in a sensor, wiring, or the module itself rather than the module being written off. A diagnostic scan will help identify whether the module itself is at fault or whether the issue lies elsewhere in the SRS system. If a replacement module is needed, confirm with your breaker that it suits your specific NV200 variant and registration, and have the replacement fitted and configured by a professional, as airbag systems are safety-critical.
