Dealerships asking to replace unit

Repair service of SRS computers to OEM are left at their 100% functional state. Our computer reset meets all industry requirements and standards so you can bring in any model car for repairs. SRS computers built by Denso, Fujitsu, TRW, Autoliv Note: it’s always a good practice to reset your original airbag computer to eliminate high cost of brand new module with its calibration & coding by dealer.

What a Crash Reset Actually Does Inside the SRS Module

When airbags deploy, or in some vehicles when the module senses a significant G-event even without deployment, the SRS, SDM or ACM electronic control unit writes a one-way crash data flag into its on-board EEPROM. That flag tells the module, and any technician who plugs a scan tool in, that it must not be trusted to fire again. Once the flag is set, no scan tool can clear it. Not GM Tech-II, not Autel MaxiSys, not BMW ISTA, not Launch X431. Our crash reset service physically removes the crash data from the EEPROM at the chip level, restoring the module to its pre-event state so it can be re-deployed safely after the airbags, seat-belt pretensioners and any damaged impact sensors have been replaced.

What We Clear From the Module

Every one of the following is zeroed out during our service: hard crash data flag, soft collision event log, rollover accumulator, peak longitudinal and lateral G storage, deployment stage timestamps, squib resistance fault history, occupant-sensor warning codes, and the seat-belt pretensioner fire counter. The module returns to you reading as a brand-new unit on any compliant scan tool. Module coding, VIN, production date and any IMMO security handshake stored on the chip are preserved unchanged: the module remains paired to your vehicle and requires no dealer visit.

Modules and Manufacturers We Reset

Our bench handles Bosch SRS generations 8.x through 10.x, Continental and Siemens VDO, Autoliv (especially the Ford, Volvo and Honda fitment), TRW and ZF (GM, Chrysler, Stellantis), Denso (Toyota, Lexus, Subaru), Delphi (older GM), Hyundai Mobis, Mitsubishi Electric and Keihin. Typical chip families we program include Motorola and Freescale 9S12, Renesas RH850, Infineon XC2000, Atmel 24C and 25C series EEPROMs and SPI-flash variants. If you are not sure which generation your vehicle uses, send us the part number stamped on the module label and we will confirm compatibility before you ship.

Turnaround, Price and What to Send

Crash reset turnaround is 24 to 48 hours from arrival. You ship us only the airbag control module itself, not the dashboard, not the seat-belt tensioners, nothing else. We recommend bubble-wrap inside a rigid box and a label-side photo before you seal it. Return shipping is included on most US orders. For pricing and to generate a work order, visit the nationwide mail-in contact page and include your VIN, module part number and a brief description of the event (deployment, rollover, no-deploy crash, hard-brake event, etc.) so our technician can queue the correct procedure.

Important safety note. A crash reset is not a substitute for replacing deployed airbags, blown pretensioners or damaged crash sensors. Our service restores the electronics; the pyrotechnics still need to be replaced by a qualified installer before the SRS system is legally and functionally complete. Do not drive a vehicle with active airbag faults.
