Where is the airbag control module located in the BYD S6?

The airbag control module of the BYD S6 is located under the hood, at the upper left corner of the battery. Introduction to Airbags: The electronic control safety airbag system is a passive safety protection system (see vehicle safety performance). When used in conjunction with seat belts, it provides effective collision protection for occupants. During a collision, the airbag can reduce head injuries by 25% and facial injuries by approximately 80%. Components of the Airbag System: It mainly consists of the airbag sensor, collision airbag, and electronic control device. The driver-side collision airbag is installed in the steering wheel, while the passenger-side collision airbag is generally mounted on the dashboard.
When driving my BYD S6, I encountered an airbag issue. The airbag control module is usually hidden in a metal box under the carpet beneath the driver's seat. This design is to prevent the module from being damaged during a collision. I remember last year when the airbag warning light came on, it scared me, and I immediately went to a repair shop. After inspection, it turned out to be a loose wiring harness. Never try to dismantle it yourself because operating before powering off could accidentally trigger the airbag to deploy, which is extremely dangerous! During regular maintenance, you can use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust to avoid clogging the sensors and affecting their response. The location was chosen considering the vehicle's center of gravity and daily usage safety. In case of a malfunction, professional inspection and repair are necessary to ensure the protective function is operational in emergencies. This is a critical aspect for both the driver and family members and must never be overlooked.
I recently got a BYD S6 and was curious about where the airbag control module is located. A friend mentioned it might be under the driver's seat or behind the dashboard. After some searching, I indeed found a box covered near the seat bracket. Once located, I realized its importance as it controls the entire vehicle's safety system, including airbag deployment. Last time when my dashboard warning light suddenly came on, I immediately took it to the 4S store for inspection, and they found corrosion at the module connection points. Although the location is easy to access, it's best not to tamper with it, especially during the new car period, as improper handling might interfere with its sensitivity or even cause false danger detection. Regularly checking if the cover is loose before car washes or long trips can prevent minor issues—safe driving starts from here.
