Thanks for sharing your experience with the SRS sensor failure on your Wrangler. Before I take my Wrangler in for repairs, I wanted to check what the total cost was for fixing your rollover sensor issue. Did you experience any related vehicle safety problems after the repair was completed? I have similar mileage on my Jeep and want to budget properly for this repair since it sounds like a full sensor replacement might be needed.

Happy to report my rollover sensor issue was fully resolved after visiting a certified mechanic. The total repair cost came to 1000 Euro for replacing the affected control unit. The airbag sensor replacement fixed the SRS warning light completely, and I havent experienced any vehicle safety issues since. The tilt sensor and crash detection systems are now working as intended. Given your similar mileage, you might be looking at comparable repair costs. The mechanic confirmed that sensor failure in these systems often requires a complete unit replacement rather than just recalibration. The investment was worth it for the peace of mind, knowing the airbag system would function properly in case of a rollover situation. After the repair, the shop ran a full diagnostic to verify all SRS sensors were communicating correctly with the main unit. Would definitely recommend getting it fixed sooner rather than later, as driving with compromised safety systems isnt worth the risk.

Thanks for the detailed responses. I finally got my Wrangler fixed last week. The mechanic I found specialized in SRS systems and immediately identified the faulty rollover sensor. The total repair ended up being 950 Euro, pretty close to what others mentioned. The repair took about 2 hours and included a complete airbag sensor module replacement. The crash detection system is now working perfectly, and the warning light has stayed off. The mechanic also performed a full diagnostic check to ensure all safety systems were properly communicating. Much better experience than my previous shop visit. For anyone facing similar issues, investing in proper vehicle safety repairs is definitely worth it. No more worrying about compromised airbag deployment during emergency situations. Really glad I got this sorted, feels good knowing all safety systems are functioning as they should.

Having experienced a similar airbag sensor issue with my 2015 Jeep Wrangler Diesel, I can share relevant insights. The rollover sensor malfunction triggered the SRS warning light, which required immediate attention due to its critical safety function. The tilt sensor communicates with the crash detection system, and a malfunction means the airbag deployment system might not respond correctly during an emergency. The automotive sensor network needs to work as a complete system for proper safety coverage. In my case, the affected control unit was indeed defective and required full replacement. This was not a simple recalibration job, the entire airbag sensor module needed replacement to restore proper crash detection functionality. Driving with a faulty rollover sensor is not recommended as it compromises the vehicle safety system. The airbag system might not deploy correctly in case of a vehicle rollover or severe crash. This is considered a serious safety issue that should be addressed promptly. While the repair involves specialized labor since its part of the SRS system, most reputable shops can handle the work. The repair typically takes 2-3 hours with proper diagnostic equipment. Recommend having it checked by a certified mechanic who specializes in SRS systems.
