WHAT IS AN AIRBAG MODULE RESET SERVICE?

The airbag system, known as SRS (Supplemental Restraint System), is one of the most critical safety components in modern vehicles. When a car is involved in an accident or even a minor impact, the airbag control module stores crash data and triggers warning lights on the dashboard.

An airbag module reset service involves removing stored crash data, clearing fault codes, and reprogramming the module to return the airbag system to a working, safe state. This service is often required after:

Unlike simply erasing error codes with a scan tool, a proper reset involves accessing and modifying internal memory data in the airbag ECU.

WHAT WE OFFER IN OUR AIRBAG RESET SERVICE

Here are some frequently asked questions (FAQs) along with answers related to AutoExplain’s services

Crash Data Removal

Crash data gets stored after an airbag deployment or impact. Clearing this data is essential to:

Prevent the airbag light from staying on
Allow a reused module to function
Avoid purchasing a new airbag ECU (which can cost hundreds of dollars)

We can remove crash data remotely for many OEM modules without opening the unit.

High-Resistance Error Reset

Common fault codes we handle include:

Resistance issues with seatbelt pretensioners, airbags, or connectors
Errors due to corrosion, wiring damage, or deployed components

We guide customers through resistance testing or coding/bypass solutions to remove these errors safely.

Safety System Deactivation (If Requested)

In some cases, disabling certain systems is necessary when components are faulty or have been removed:

Disable Pedestrian Protection System (hood pop-up sensors)
Disable Passenger Seat Occupancy Sensor (BMW, Mercedes)
Turn off SOS Module Warnings
Disable Tow Hitch Errors

We only perform these actions at customer request and explain all implications.

Airbag Module Programming & VIN Coding

If you’ve replaced your airbag module with a used or cloned unit, VIN mismatch and incorrect coding can prevent the system from working.

We offer:

VIN coding or re-coding
Reprogramming to match current vehicle setup
Support for retrofitted airbags or aftermarket seats

Post-Repair Reset After Airbag Replacement

After replacing physical airbags or seatbelt tensioners, the SRS module still needs a reset or clear to:

Remove stored crash data
Recognize new components
Clear any stored faults or deployment history

We help repair shops and individuals complete this final and crucial step.

HOW WE WORK

Contact Us & Describe the Problem

Start by reaching out to our support team. Share the make, model, year, and airbag/SRS-related symptoms—such as warning lights, post-collision deployment, or scan tool fault codes. We’re available 24/7 to listen and guide you from the beginning.

Confirm Compatibility & Prepare Tools

Once we understand your issue, we’ll confirm if your airbag module is supported. For remote reset, we will inform you which tools you need, like a laptop, internet connection, and diagnostic cable. We ensure you're ready before starting.

Backup System Data & Fault Codes

Before resetting, we securely back up all stored data from the airbag control unit. This includes crash records, deployment logs, or CP-related issues. Having a backup ensures we can restore data if needed for diagnostics or legal records.

Perform Airbag Module Reset Process

Using advanced coding and reset tools, we erase crash data and resolve common faults like B1015, igniter resistance, or deployment logs. If the module is repairable, we fix it. If not, we’ll advise on replacement or cloning options.

System Scan & Function Verification

After resetting, we scan the SRS system to ensure no faults remain. You’ll be guided through testing steps using your diagnostic device. Our team will confirm that the airbag system is restored and warning lights are fully gone.

Final Testing & Video Confirmation

Once coding is complete, you’ll turn on the ignition and check the SRS system status. If no airbag lights appear, record a short video showing the dashboard and send it to us. This confirms that the airbag reset was successful.
