- Is you airbag light on?
- Have your airbags deployed?
- Do diagnostic tool reads “crash data stored?”
- Has your dealership told you that you need a new module?
- Was your vehicle in an accident?
If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, send your module for an airbag module reset. Even small accidents trigger electronic codes in the airbag module. Our airbag module reset services reset your airbag light and clear all crash codes inside the airbag control module.
Stop buying used or new airbag modules and send yours to MyAirbags for reset. Our airbag module reset service electronically registers the module to your vehicle’s VIN. If you buy a new airbag module from the dealership, they must program your vehicle’s VIN which is costly and takes more time. That’s why it’s best to reset your original airbag module! You’ll save time and money and avoid costly reprogramming and delays at the dealership. Airbag lights turn on in vehicle after an accident: Airbag module reset services are the right solution for this problem because vehicular accidents trigger the airbag light. These codes can cause the seat belts to lock. If this happens to your vehicle, you will need an airbag module reset. If your vehicle was not in an accident, but the light is on, there are many possible causes that the skilled technicians at MyAirbags will be able to diagnose and repair. If the seatbelts locked up, we can help with that, too. Check out our seat belt repair page.
What is an SRS airbag module?
An SRS airbag module, also known as the airbag electronic crash unit, controls the airbag’s deployment, stores crash data and exchanges information with the car’s engine. If your SRS module is faulty, your vehicle’s airbags may not protect you and your passengers in the case of an accident. If your airbags have deployed in an accident before, or if your airbag light is on, you will need your SRS airbag control module reset.Since 2006, MyAirbags has been providing excellent technical support and repair/reset services to body shops, collision shops, car dealers, and individuals, saving them time and money!
Airbag control modules have other common names:
- Airbag Module
- SRS Airbag Control Module
- Airbag ECU (Electronic Crash Unit)
- Advanced Crash Safety Module (ACSM)
- Airbag Multiple Restraint System (MRS)
- Airbag Control Module (ACM)
- Restraint Control Module (RCM)
- Sensing Diagnostic Module (SDM)
- SRS Control Module (SRSCM)
- Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC)
- SAS Unit (Sophisticated Airbag Sensor) Module

SRS Airbag Module Reset
After a vehicle has been in an accident, the airbag control module needs to be repaired or reset in order to be used again.
The dealer and/or scan tools will not be able to clear hard code due to hardware issues. After we reset your module, you will not need to take it to the dealer for any additional programming. When you receive the module back from us it will be as good as new. Almost all airbag modules can be reset unless they have experienced flood or fire damage. It is always best to send your original module to us for reset to avoid an additional trip to the dealer for coding. Most of the late model cars will have partial VIN stored in the airbag control module.
What could be causing my airbag light to be on?
There are several reasons why your airbag light might be on, including:
Need for Reset: Following an accident, the airbag light might remain on until the system is reset, even if the airbags did not deploy. MyAirbags can reset the airbag module and rebuild seat belts.
- Vehicle was in an accident
- Deployed airbags
- Seat belt locked or not retracting
- Malfunctioning seat belt pretensioner
- Crash Data
- Crash History
- Airbag Module Issues
- Faulty Airbag Sensors
- Wiring Problems
- Water Damage
While the reasons listed are the most common, there could also be other issues affecting the system. It is crucial to use an OBD airbag scanner to retrieve and analyze the DTC diagnostic trouble codes from your SRS system. If you do not own a scanner, consider taking your vehicle to a local mechanic for a professional diagnosis. For those who often handle car repairs, investing in an OBD airbag scan tool is advisable. Such a tool can be cost-effective in the long term, helping you avoid unnecessary diagnostic fees.
Steps to Reset the Airbag Light:
If vehicle was NOT in an accident
1. Consult the Owner’s Manual. Check your vehicle’s manual for specific instructions related to the airbag system.
2. Disconnect the Battery. Turn off the vehicle, disconnect the battery for about 15 minutes, and then reconnect it. This can help reset the system.
3. Scan for Codes. Use an OBD-II scanner to check for any fault codes and clear them if possible.

FAQ

- 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.
Some important things you should know:
- Install airbag control module last, after all repairs are done. All airbags, impact sensors, seat belts and other SRS components must be installed and connected properly.
- The reset SRS airbag control module must go back into the same vehicle that it came out of. Airbag control modules are programmed to vehicle VIN number. If module is not original then you may need to have additional programming done on the vehicle to initialize/calibrate the module to the vehicle.
- 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 vehicle battery terminals
- Once the battery is disconnected, airbag control module MUST BE securely reinstalled and bolted down tightly with all bolts. “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 control 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 seat belt, 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.
