SRS Airbag Module Reset

Post-accident airbag modules are locked, not broken. We clear crash data and hard codes on the original chip — same module, same part number, same VIN.

After a deployment or even a minor impact, the SRS module writes a permanent hard code into its EEPROM and refuses to arm again. A scan tool can read the code but can't erase it — the lockout flag has to be cleared on the chip itself.

We reset the chip back to its original factory state. The module is mechanically and electrically perfect — only the EEPROM data is flagged. You re-install the same unit, cycle the key, and the airbag light goes out.

Common symptoms

  • Airbag / SRS warning light stays on after the crash
  • Hard codes that won't clear with a scan tool
  • Codes like B0001, B1000, B1001, 9-1, 14-1, or "crash recorded"
  • Seat-belt pretensioner indicator stays on
  • Vehicle fails state inspection because of the SRS light

FAQ

Do I still need to replace the airbag and pretensioners?

Yes — any deployed airbag, clock spring, seat belt, or pretensioner must still be physically replaced. The reset only addresses the module, not the pyrotechnics.

Will the reset wipe my VIN or coding?

No. The original VIN and configuration data are preserved. You're getting back your same module ready to drop in.

How fast is the turnaround?

24-hour turnaround on most SRS resets. Express options available at checkout.

Is the reset warrantied?

Yes — lifetime warranty against the crash-data lock returning on the same module.
