Hi.

I own a Audi A3 35 TDI MY2016. Recently while moving out of a parking spot, i had a minor collission with a bike that was reversing out of his spot at the same time. There was just a small thud but there were no scratches or dents on my fender. The front right fender had hit the footpeg of the bike.

About an hour of driving later, i got an Airbag sensor warning light on my dash. It was yellow.

Now upon scanning at my FNG, there is a Faulty control module error. Please find image of the error attached below.

My mechanic claims that the whole Airbag control module requires replacement. Is this true based on the error code or could it be any other issue (Example: Sensor related)

Anyone else faced the same issue? I am quite skeptical on how could a small collision brick a whole control module. I want to be double sure before i go for the replacement as it is quite an expensive affair. Thanks in advance.
