U0479: Dados inválidos recebidos do sensor I do sistema de retenção

O que fazer

The airbag warning light means the crash protection may not be working properly.

A car with nine crash sensors is a well-equipped one — side and curtain airbags, knee airbags, rear pretensioners, pedestrian protection, perhaps a rollover system. Every one of those needs its own sensor, which is how the count gets this high.

One question is worth asking before any part is bought: does your car actually have that sensor? Cars are built on the same body in different specifications, and the airbag computer has to be told which equipment yours has. If that computer has ever been replaced — particularly with a second-hand one, or after accident repair — it may be looking for a sensor your car never had. No amount of testing finds a fault, because there is nothing there to fail. Correcting the coding is the fix, and it is far cheaper than the search.

If the sensor does exist, everything on the other pages in this family applies: mention any bumper, door, seat or trim work, and any tow bar or accessory fitted.

Do not have the light cleared, and refuse a resistor in place of a sensor.

O que este código significa

A restraints system sensor is reporting a value that cannot be accepted as true. See U0471 for the family's framing and U0452 for the safety rules.

A ninth restraints sensor puts the vehicle in a small category — a large or heavily specified car with side, curtain, knee, centre and rear airbags, rear pretensioners, pedestrian protection and often a rollover system as well. Each of those needs its own input, and that is how the count reaches this far.

Which makes the first question the one from U0446: is the sensor fitted at all? Restraints configuration varies by market and specification on a shared body — a car built without curtain airbags, without the pedestrian system, or without rear pretensioners still has a restraints module that must be told which of them exist. A module coded for a higher specification than the car was built to looks for a sensor that was never installed and reports exactly this, and there is nothing to find because there is nothing there.

That is a coding correction rather than a repair, and it follows the usual causes: a replacement module coded from a generic file, a used module from a better-equipped car, or a restraints module programmed from the wrong build data after an accident repair.

Where the sensor does exist, everything in this family applies unchanged — the repair history, the mounting, the connectors, and the intermittent behaviour at U0478.

One numbering note. The standard continues this family past I into the letter-suffixed part of the U047x range, so a scan tool naming a restraints sensor beyond I is reporting something outside the numbering this corpus enumerates. The reasoning on this page still applies to it.

Informação, não instrução

O CarGeek é uma referência, não um manual de serviço. Suas páginas são escritas a partir de fontes públicas e do que outras pessoas constataram, nunca a partir da documentação de serviço do fabricante, de modo que podem estar erradas ou incompletas para o seu veículo específico. Parte do que descrevem envolve risco real: alta tensão, combustível sob pressão, energia acumulada e peças quentes ou em movimento.

Antes de agir com base em qualquer orientação, peça a verificação de uma pessoa com formação técnica, seguindo o procedimento do próprio fabricante para o seu veículo. Nada aqui substitui esse procedimento.

O que faz valer a leitura:

  • O carro — marca, modelo, ano e motor. A mesma falha se comporta de forma diferente em cada um.
  • O que você mediu, não só o que trocou.
  • O que realmente resolveu — ou que nada resolveu, o que também vale saber.
