Be careful with this! DISCONNECT THE BATTERY FIRST!

Note:

All work on the airbag must only be conducted with the battery disconnected!Connect and disconnect airbag control unit, sensors and gas generators only with the battery disconnected!
The airbag control unit contains vehicle-specific data and must therefore be encoded before placing into operation!Removal and installation in other vehicles is prohibited!

When you say "control unit", are you referring to the center sensor? There are various sensors/control units for the various airbags, etc.

You may need to be a bit more specific (including what model and year car you have) to be sure you get an accurate answer...

have no idea what you call the gateway unit. Once the airbag was deployed you have to replace to airbag control unit because this is where the error is stored.
