An airbag module is an important component of any vehicle equipped with an airbag system. Essentially, it's like a small computer that acts as a controller, responsible for managing all the different parts of the system, including impact sensors, seat belts, airbags, and the clockspring. The airbag module reads and writes data that's critical for the system to function properly, and during an accident, it records crash data and stores it in its memory chip.

Typically, when the airbags deploy and the seat belts and tensioners activate, the airbag light goes off and the module is no longer functional. In the past, you would have had to buy a brand new module from a dealer, which could be incredibly expensive. But now, we offer an affordable solution that allows you to re-use your existing module by resetting it with our programming techniques.

Our service involves "flashing" the data stored in your module with an OEM factory-installed program, essentially wiping the slate clean and making the module new again. This means that in the unlikely event of another accident or crash, your airbag module will function just like a brand new one would. It's a great way to save money while still ensuring that your airbag system is functioning properly and keeping you safe on the road.

What is an SRS airbag module?

An SRS airbag module, also known as the ECU or the airbag electronic crash unit, is a very important computer found in all cars manufactured after 1996 for the U.S. market. It is also known as the airbag controller, SRS module, SRS unit, SRS control unit, airbag brain or simply the airbag module. It is always working, writing data while communicating with the vehicle's engine computer. It is in place to work with and control the entire airbag system in your vehicle. When an accident or a crash occurs, it communicates with the crash sensors by receiving data and analyzing the crash and triggers (if needed) the airbags to deploy (as well as which ones) and lock the seat belt retractors and/or the seat belt pretensioners by securing the passengers in their seats. Without an SRS airbag module it is unsafe to operate a motor vehicle and whenever your airbag light is on, you should always check your car's system for fault codes!

What are some possible reasons for my airbag light being on?

There are several potential causes for your airbag light to turn on. One of the most common reasons is a fault within the airbag system, which can be related to any of the following components:

• Deployed airbags

• Malfunctioning seat belt pretensioners

• Faulty airbag clockspring

• Issues with crash sensors

• Stored crash data

• Problems with the wiring harness

• Communication errors

While these are the most typical causes, there could be other factors at play as well. It's important to always use an OBD airbag scanner to read and access codes for your system. If you don't have a scanner, you can take your car to a local shop for diagnosis. We highly recommend purchasing an OBD airbag scan tool if you frequently work with cars. This investment can save you money in the long run by avoiding false diagnostic charges and fees. These tools are typically available for around $100 and can pay for themselves quickly.

How do I reset my airbag light?

Resetting the airbag light is dependent on the cause of the fault. For minor issues such as communication or wiring faults, these can be fixed by identifying and fixing the issue. Additionally, an OBD scan tool can clear any soft codes that are unrelated to a crash. However, if your vehicle has been in an accident, there may be more serious faults such as deployed airbags, locked seat belts, faulty crash sensors, and a damaged airbag clockspring. These faults can cause hard codes, which cannot be reset by an airbag scan tool or dealership.

That's where we come in! Safety Restore offers a quick and affordable SRS airbag module reset service. We can erase all crash data and hard codes that cannot be reset by dealers or OBD airbag scan tools. We will reprogram your original SRS airbag control unit to its factory condition, and you won't need any further dealer programming after our reset. Our service is 100% guaranteed, or you'll get your money back. Once our service is complete, your airbag light will be reset, giving you the peace of mind that your vehicle's airbag system is functioning correctly.

My airbags deployed, will I need to have my SRS airbag control module reset?

Whenever your car's airbag code indicates that the airbags have been deployed, resetting the SRS module is always necessary. In the past, this would have meant purchasing a new module and spending hundreds of dollars at the dealer, resulting in countless SRS units being discarded. However, as the salvage car industry has grown, the need for new safety procedures has arisen, including our SRS airbag module reset service. Many dealers, shops, and individuals are now safely rebuilding salvage cars purchased from auctions like copart.com and iaai.com to be back on the road with salvage, reconstructed, or rebuilt titles. These vehicles often require safety salvage inspections to ensure they have been properly rebuilt and are safe to operate on the road, including inspections for stolen parts. If your car's airbags have been deployed or it has no airbags at all, resetting the SRS unit is crucial.

Why Resetting the SRS Airbag Control Module is Important

During a car accident, the SRS airbag module records crash data and writes it in its memory, causing the module to be "locked" and the car unsafe to operate until it is reset or replaced. This data also remains in a "black box" state until an accident investigation is conducted. However, if the accident is minor or the vehicle is repaired and deemed safe, the SRS airbag control module needs to be reset. Our affordable and fast SRS module reset service can clear the crash data and unlock the module, allowing the car to safely return to the road. With a 24-hour turnaround time, we ensure that your SRS module is reset and your airbag light turns off, ensuring your safety.

How do I remove the SRS airbag module?

The SRS airbag module is actually easy to remove and can be done without a professional mechanic. Thought we strongly advise knowledgeable individuals removing an SRS module, it can be done at your own risk by following the easy steps:

1. Disconnect the negative terminal of your car's battery and wait at least 5 minutes before proceeding.
   

2. Locate the SRS airbag unit. In most vehicles it will be under the center console which, between the front seats under the dash or under the front driver or passenger seat. Most SRS units will look similar with a metal enclosure and a yellow plug. Others will have a metal enclosure with a black plug.
   

3. Unbolt the unit and disconnect the wire harness or airbag plugs going to it

Airbag module replacement cost

The cost of replacing an airbag module can be quite high, especially if you buy a new one from a dealer. In such cases, you may have to spend over $1,000 for the replacement. While used airbag modules may be less expensive, they still can cost a few hundred dollars. Furthermore, the process of replacing an SRS airbag module is complex and time-consuming, as it involves several associated components. Installing a different module, whether used or new, requires the programming of the VIN, which can only be done by the dealer, thus adding extra costs and time to the process. Fortunately, many salvage shops are now turning to Safety Restore to reset their SRS airbag modules instead of replacing them. By doing so, they can save hundreds of dollars each time, and thousands in total. Safety Restore is proud to be the leading provider of affordable and fast SRS airbag module reset services nationwide.

Eeprom Programming

The process of EEPROM re-programming involves clearing any crash data and hard codes stored in the SRS airbag module by re-writing the original factory code into its memory. This ensures that your SRS unit is restored to its original factory programming and functions as good as new. Unlike an airbag module reset tool that only clears some soft codes, our service is capable of erasing all crash data and hard codes. This is the perfect solution if you're looking for a way to reset your airbag module after an accident. Don't settle for airbag module reset software that can't restore your SRS module to its original condition - trust us for affordable and reliable SRS airbag module reset services.
