Mazda SAS module reset — KEAD-57K30C crash data cleared in 1 day
The 2023–2025 CX-5 SAS control module locks itself out after a collision, and most tool-based shops simply can't clear this part number. We do it on the board — your original module, your original VIN, back on the bench and shipped within one business day.
1-day bench turnaround, standard return shipping included.
Same 1-day bench time, back to your door overnight.
Part numbers we reset
Mazda supersedes these into one another, so whichever sticker is on your unit, it's the same SAS control module family and the same service.

| KEAD-57K30A | Superseded revision |

When you need this service
- Airbag / SRS warning light stays on after a collision
- Crash data stored — codes will not clear with any scan tool
- Module reports internal fault or refuses to arm
- Tool-based "crash erase" attempts fail or time out mid-read
- Body shop quoted a new SAS module plus a dealer programming visit
- Vehicle fails state inspection because of the SRS light
Why most shops can't clear this module
On this generation of SAS module the crash flag lives in the module's own memory, not in a code table you can wipe over the OBD port. Shops that rely on subscription "crash erase" platforms attempt the read, stall out, and end up telling the customer the module is unrepairable — which is why every big name advertising Mazda SRS resets quietly declines this part number.
We work the board directly: read, clear the crash data, restore the original factory data block, and bench-test before it ships. All crash data is cleared and no further modifications are needed on reinstall.
What it costs the other way
| Route | Cost | Extras |
|---|---|---|
| New Mazda SAS module | $457–$654 | Bare part only — dealer programming labor is extra |
| Used / salvage module | ~$350 | Rarely in stock, and not married to your VIN |
| TMW reset of your original | $200 | Nothing else — reinstall and drive |
How to send it in
- Turn the ignition off, disconnect the negative battery cable, and wait at least one minute so the module's backup power supply drains before you touch it.
- Remove the SAS control module (center console area on the CX-5) and pack it in an anti-static bag with padding around it.
- Order the reset online, print the packing slip, and ship it to us tracked and insured. Inbound shipping is on you; return shipping is on us.
- We clear the crash data, restore the factory data block, and bench-test it — then it ships back within one business day (overnight on the $250 option).
- Reinstall it and cycle the key. All crash data is cleared, no programming, no coding, nothing further to do.

FAQ
Which Mazda part numbers does this cover?
KEAD-57K30, KEAD-57K30A, KEAD-57K30C, KEAD-57K30D and KEAD-57K30E — Mazda supersedes them into one another, so they are all the same SAS control module family from the 2023–2025 CX-5.
Why can't my shop clear this module with a scan tool or a token tool?
Because the crash flag on this generation isn't a code you erase over the OBD port — it's written into the module's memory. Tool platforms routinely fail on this part number and burn tokens trying. We work on the board directly, which is why we can clear it when tools can't.
What is the price and turnaround?
$200 with a 1-day turnaround once the module reaches our bench. $250 gets it back to you overnight instead of standard return shipping.
Do I need any programming or setup after reinstalling it?
No. All crash data is cleared and no further modifications are needed — it's your original module with your original VIN, so it goes straight back in. Reinstall it, cycle the key, and the SRS light goes out.
Do I still have to replace the airbags and seat belts?
Yes. Any deployed airbag, pretensioner, seat belt, or clock spring is a physical part and still has to be replaced. The reset addresses the SAS control module only.
How does this compare to buying a new SAS module?
A new Mazda SAS unit runs roughly $457–$654 for the bare part, and dealer programming labor is on top of that. Used units are hard to find and aren't married to your VIN. The reset is $200 on the module already in your car.
Is the reset warrantied?
Yes — lifetime warranty against the crash-data lock returning on the same module.
Body shop or owner — same price, same day on the bench
$200 standard with a 1-day turnaround, $250 for overnight return. Read the full technical write-up if you want the detail first.
