Just adding my comment here. 2014 FGII EcoLPi which killed the original
ICC in December 2017 after a weak battery caused whatever it is that corrupts to become corrupted.
It was replaced by my dealer with the ASL unit I supplied to them.
After the recent lockdown and not using the car much, I started it a couple of weeks back and got the Airbag warning and black screen again. After taking a long drive to recharge the battery, at next restart the screen came back to normal but the start after that it froze on the logo display and the one after that it went black and has stayed that way since.
This suggests to me that ASL don't modify them in any way to protect them but rather just reload the firmware.
I'll also add that battery changes are best done without powering down the vehicle which was how Beaurepaires changed mine back then.
