SRS Airbag control module needs to be reset if your vehicle was in an accident and the airbag light is on. However, if your vehicle was not in an accident, there are a variety of reasons why your vehicle’s airbag light may turn on. Our skilled technicians at MyAirbags provide high quality airbag module reset services for customers nationwide. Listed below are the top 5 questions and answers our technicians hear when a vehicle’s airbag light is on.

FAQs about Airbag Light

1. Why is Airbag Light On?

Common Customer Questions:

It just turned on
The light randomly came on
My vehicle was in an accident

If you know your vehicle was in an accident, then MyAirbags can absolutely help you and reset your airbag module. We provide Reset & Return service to reset airbag control modules. If your vehicle was in an accident, we recommend that you send your original module to us for reset to avoid additional trip to the dealer for coding. Most of the late model cars will have partial VIN stored in the airbag control module. If your vehicle has NOT been involved in an accident.

We recommend that you have your vehicle scanned by a body shop to see what code you have.
If they tell you that the airbag module is bad and not because of an accident then we do provide replacement srs airbag control modules.
We recommend that you use the part number that is on top of your module to locate replacement module. When you purchase a used or new airbag control module it may need to be programmed/configured to your vehicle.

2. Why Did the Airbag Light Just Turn On One Day?

If the airbag light in your vehicle just turned on without an accident, there may be an issue with the airbag system computer, or there may be a bad component within the airbag system. If your vehicle has NOT been involved in an accident, we recommend you watch the accompanying tips and tech video and have your module scanned by a body shop tech before mailing your airbag module to us. If you find by watching this video or if the body shop tech scans and finds the fault in the airbag component, we recommend sending the airbag module to our metro Atlanta facility, where our auto repair technicians will restore it to its factory settings. When you receive your module back from us there are a few distinctly important rules you must follow:

The repaired module MUST GO BACK INTO THE SAME VEHICLE IT WAS INSTALLED IN. Airbag modules are identified to a specific car, just the same as you, the customer are to the address of your house…for instance, if you hop over to your neighbor’s house for an extended stay and expect your mail to get to you there, you’re probably going to have a few problems.
COMPLETE ALL OTHER REPAIRS FIRST.
Install all Airbag SRS components (except the module itself) and reconnect them properly first. SRS Installation components include: airbags, all seat belts, the clock spring, impact sensors and fuses.
Disconnect your vehicle battery. Failure to follow this step usually results in permanent damage to the airbag module. The BATTERY MUST BE DISCONNECTED prior to reconnecting your module.
Once the battery is disconnected, your module MUST BE securely reinstalled and bolted down tightly. “Securely” is defined here as completely fastened i.e. with the use of tools: wrench, ratchet wrench or torque wrench (key is: beyond hand threaded).
Lastly, connect the wiring harness plugs to the airbag module and reconnect the battery.

If the vehicle hasn’t been in an accident and the airbag light turns on it usually means there is a connection issue with the seatbelt, the airbag, or the impact sensor, or that one of these components needs to be replaced.

3. Should I Send the Airbag Module for Reset or Buy Used?

Our certified technicians at MyAirbags recommend resetting your vehicle’s airbag module if the vehicle has been involved in an accident. Resetting the airbag module diminishes the need for any additional programming, and when properly installed into a working system, the airbag light will turn off. When you get the module back from us it is factory reset and is exactly like new and is a good module, free from all hard codes and soft codes. If your airbag light is still on after reinstalling correctly, then there is a problem with one of the connections or bad airbags, seat belts, clock spring and/or impact sensors and there would be a soft code stored in the module identifying the issue. Check that all SRS components and connections are good. Also, if you have purchased used parts then make sure that they were not from a flood vehicle. To summarize: if you still have an airbag light on after receiving ours and following the rules for correct installation, then there are additional problems that only a body shop tech can address—it is not an airbag module problem.

4. Does MyAirbags Sell Replacement Airbag Modules?

MyAirbags does sell replacement airbag computer modules.

We recommend that you use the part number that is on top of your module to locate replacement module. When you purchase a used or new airbag control module it may need to be programmed/configured to your vehicle.
Search our OEM SRS Airbag Modules Ready To Ship

When calling to order a replacement airbag computer module, please be prepared to give our customer service tech representatives the original module part number. Once we have the original module part number, we will be able to verify if we have the module in stock to sell you a replacement airbag computer module.

5. What if I’ve Already Purchased a New or Used Airbag Module Replacement?

We advise our customers to compare the part numbers of their replacement airbag computer module to the vehicle’s original module; if the part numbers do no match, it is unlikely that the airbag module will work in the vehicle. Also, remember: the airbag module MUST BE FOR THE SAME VEHICLE IT CAME FROM. If for instance, the module is for a 2008 Honda Accord, the replacement must be for 2008 Honda Accord. Once the replacement airbag module has been correctly installed in the vehicle the airbag light may still turn on. Again, for the reasons detailed above, you need to verify that you have followed the correct steps and that other parts were not from a flood damaged vehicle. However, if you have done everything else successfully, the airbag module may need to be reprogrammed for the specific VIN of your car by that manufacturer’s dealership. This is why we always recommend that customers send in their original modules from their vehicles. Each module is coded for the VIN of the automobile it is in.

Kt T – July 9, 2017:

Beginning with the advise on how to locate the unit by the knowledgeable customer service, I was guided through the entire process. I was informed via email on all the stages from receiving, processing, and shipping back. My airbag system now works perfectly. Great job, MyAirbags has saved me several hundred of dollars. I would recommend MyAirbags to all other whom are looking for fast, affordable and reliable services from the professional team members.

Awesome company, They repaired so far 2 airbag modules and worked perfectly fine when installed. This company saved me hundreds of dollars. Their shipping is super fast. Highly recommended!!!!

Humberto Ortiz – June 17, 2017:

I can’t believe how easy and affordable this service was. I sent in my deployed air bag module that the dealer wanted to charge over $500 plus programming for a new one. I mailed it out to them and they return the module fix and no more air bag light. For under $50 plus the $7 it cost me to ship it. They paid for the return shipping. Easy plug and play no programming required for my GMC Yukon. Will be using again plus they do instrument cluster repairs as well.

Company did an awesome job. They did the job fast and with no issues. Price was very reasonable. I reconstructs vehicles all the time and will definitely use them again and recommend them when needed.

Tobys Auto Sales – June 9, 2017:

Sent in my module for the random setting of “hard” codes not related to any crash. Module was storing crash data, however, the vehicle was not crashed nor were there any deployment. I sent in my module, and had it returned to me in a few days. Great service, saved me hundreds!
5 out of 5

Juan Maldonado – June 6, 2017:

This was the fastest service I have received. I shipped my item for repair priority and 2 days later it arrived. They notified me when it was received. Then later that day they notified me it was repaired and it will be shipped out that day. 2 days later it arrived good as new. I recommend MyAirbags since they delivered everything that was mentioned in their description. Will return for future services.

Scott Rees – June 2, 2017:

I have used this company 3 times. Every time they deliver just what I need. I recently saved purchasing a new SDS module from the dealer by just reusing my old one AFTER they repaired it! They are a life saver!

Scott Rees – May 13, 2017:

I was told by many, including the dealer, that my SRS airbag module must be replaced and then programmed back to my vehicle. This would have been another hundred on top of the 400 for a new module. Instead I sent MyAirbags my module. Within the week, it was returned and I installed it. Since it went right back into the SAME car, no dealer trip was necessary! Best 50 bucks I ever spent! Great communication too.

Bisi Ezerioha – May 13, 2017:

I had a purchased a used gauge cluster for my escalade, and it came with inaccurate mileage. The team at MyAirBags did a fantastic job in correcting the abnormality, and shipped it back to me quickly. Communication was superb, and they have a customer for life with me.

Removal Instructions

Failure to follow this instruction may result in the accidental deployment of “air bag”, “seat belt”, which increases the risk of serious personal injury or death.

Never probe the electrical connectors on air bag or seat belt.
Never disassemble or tamper with safety belt buckle/retractor pretensioners, adaptive load limiting retractors, safety belt inflators, or probe the electrical connectors.
Do not use electrical test equipment to check SRS circuits unless instructed to in this Service Manual.
Before servicing the SRS, turn ignition switch OFF, disconnect both battery cables and wait at least 3 minutes. For approximately 3 minutes after the cables are removed, it is still possible for the air bag and seat belt pre-tensioner to deploy. Therefore, do not work on any SRS connectors or wires until at least 3 minutes have passed.

How It Works

Carefully remove your part from your vehicle. Please see our removal instructions, if you are not sure how to remove it or take it your local body shop.
Securely pack your part, using the correct box so that your part cannot be damaged in transit. Take special care when packing. Include: Name, Return Address, Phone Number
Once we receive your part, we will repair it and ship it back to you within 24 hours.

I have used MyAirbags about 4 times now and they have always been very professional and their services have saved me a lot of money. They got the job done right the first time and with a very quick turn around time usually less than a week. I will continue to use them whenever the need arrives and I personally recommend them to anyone looking to save money and still get quality service.

First of all is communication was great. When I called them with questions about my module they new exactly what I was describing and had the answers I needed. I sent my abs module to them and they fixed it and sent it back to me within one week. It has been six months and so far everything is great. Good service is a must for me. I would certainly recommend MyAirbags and their service to anyone I know having abs problems.

Prompt communication the day my package arrived to them. I was shocked when my unit was repaired and sent back out the same day! This is the 3rd or 4th time I've used them and they are fantastic. Always have great communication and very prompt service and turn around. I would highly recommend them.

Good job. Part just installed (ABS controller). Working fine. $119 was a good price. $18 for S&H + 3 for insurance is a little steep. I paid less than $9 for same to send. Thumbs up 4 1/2 🌟

There were some shipping restrictions, as I live in Canada. They told me what those restrictions were, so I knew up front. My SRS computer was repaired as well the drivers seatbelt. Both done correctly and very cost effectively. Repairs were completed very promptly.

Very helpful in the phone. Very fast service. Very good price. Fixed my ABS controller and I had it back four days after I sent it.

It was a seamless transaction, I played sent my items, they fixed them and sent them back. Would have been 5 stars, but did not like that they never told me what they fixed in detail. I played in advance for the services I thought was wrong, but they never said that was in fact what was wrong.

Turn around time was great price was good. Guage cluster almost perfect. Almost because now my fuel guage only reads 7/8 of a tank when completely full. I can assume that its 1/8 of through the entire range and it worked fine before. Sure is nice to have everything else working properly though.

Steve Redinger

Everything worked fine after repair, with the exception of one little thing. The LED brightness during the day is dimmer now, but the gauges work fine and appear to be tuned perfectly. Nighttime brightness seems normal. Photos were sent of damage received during shipping, but when I received the console back after repair I could not find any damage. Save me $300 not having to replace the part and another $300 for labor, which is what I was quoted by auto repair shop. Big savings.

MyAirbags was very good. I needed 5 Audi A6 seat belts that needed to be replaced. They all had the factory OEM connection, and worked properly when the codes were cleared. Their work was appreciated.

Great service. Fast turnaround and their service absolutely works. They reset the module for my car and a few days later, the car was involved in a head on collision and the air bags worked perfectly.

Wow, what a great service they provide and with a quick turnaround just as described, I have found they a real person answers the phone that is knowledgeable about their business and speaks english which is a great plus in my book. I have found them honest and reasonable on both resetting my modules and repairing seat belts. I will absolutely use the again.

I found MyAirbags on eBay for repair my Bosch 5.3 ABS module for my Audi A4. First, I brought their exchange service. Their description indicated will ship the repaired core unit to me and after I received the repaired one. I need to ship my faulty one to them as exchange then I will get refund. However, on the second day I placed order, they phoned me and informed this item was out of stock. Then I choose the other service, I sent the faulty ABS unit to them and they declared they will ship out the repaired unit within 24hr after they received the unit I sent. At the beginning, I have some doubt on the promise but I think even they send it back within 3 days will be great for me. The result is awesome, they really did it. Within 24 hours, they tested and repaired the unit and send it out by almost midnight. I have installed the repaired unit now and it works well. My ABS light is out and I am really appreciate their good service.

I had a bad tachometer servo in my 2005 GMC Envoy's instrument cluster. I also had several bulbs in the cluster burned out. I found MyAirbags on eBay and sent the cluster to them for repair and calibration which I thought was a great service to offer as well as an LED lighting upgrade. The price was great and the service was fast as I had it back within the week that I sent it to them. I also have to make very positive mention of the customer service on the phone. They were knowledgeable and courteous. I installed it the day it arrived and it has worked flawlessly ever since.

I have been using this company since 2007 for all my vehicle repairs. I have never had a problem with them and their service is excellent. Quick turn around, just replace all of your deployed airbags, sensors, seat belts, and install the reseted module and it works right the first time. The last one I had done was for a 2013 Chevy Impala a month ago, and it worked just right. I highly recommend this company.

I was told by many, including the dealer, that my SDS airbag module must be replaced and then programmed back to my vehicle. This would have been another hundred on top of the 400 for a new module. Instead I sent MyAirbags my module. Within the week, it was returned and I installed it. Since it went right back into the SAME car, no dealer trip was necessary! Best 50 bucks I ever spent! Great communication too.

I was told by my service tech that there were many issues with my car and I would need to go to a Toyota dealer. I found MyAirbags.com on ebay and gave them a shot. They have excellent communication and returned my computer very quickly. They really know their stuff and seem to have been doing this type of work for a long time.

Were great received my parts fast and fixed them and sent back fast.... Until I had to send a cluster back my customer paid for shipping to send it there that's completely understandable but then get a email saying I need to pay for it. I called in and yes it was "fixed in November" and I was just able to send back in June, could not take the customers vehicle from them when they needed it and they did not feel comfortable driving with no cluster in the vehicle. Only one thing was fixed on the cluster one message would not go away that was the original complaint and now I have to pay shipping for them to mail it back to me if I do not pay there $18.00 they will not ship it back to me. Now when I ask I just payed $11.15 to ship to you why so much? "That's our shipping cost" so Warning if you want to use your "LIFETIME WARRANTY" you will pay to ship it to and from and no matter how much you payed you will pay $18.00 to ship it back to you! They did email later on and refund me my money back for shipping.

Electronic brake control module failed on 2001 Buick LeSabre. New unit at dealer was close to $700. MyAirbags repaired old unit for a fraction of the dealer cost. I sent the unit on a Monday and had it back the following Monday. Re-installed with no issues. Highly recommend

I have used a couple of other companies similar to My Airbags in the past but there is no comparison even though the other company was some what less expensive they were a hassle to work with and it took forever for my seat belts to be returned tome. No thank You I will stick with my Air bags. I Have used My Airbags on at least 2 different occasions and in all cases my seat belts and modules were returned to me almost immediately and absolutely no hassle what so ever,Wit My Airbags I can rest assured that they will do a great job and return my items in a matter of a couple of days or so What more can you ask for ?
