Dodge Airbag Module Crash Reset & Repair Service — All Dodge Models 1995–2026
Dodge airbag module reset performed by Dan Karman — Dodge SRS / ORC module specialist since 1999, online since 2006. Full reset process documented on our YouTube channel. Reference updated April 2026.
Every Dodge SRS airbag control module from 1995 through 2026 can be bench-reset after a crash when the module is readable and not physically damaged. Dodge / Mopar commonly calls this unit the Occupant Restraint Controller, ORC, Occupant Restraint Module, Air Bag Control Module, Diagnostic Module, Diagnostic Unit, or SDM Module. Common Dodge ORC part-number families include 560xxxxx, 681xxxxx, 682xxxxx, 683xxxxx, and 684xxxxx modules. Karmanauto clears crash event data, deployment records, and internal lockout flags directly from the original Dodge module memory and returns it plug-and-play in most cases.
After a deployment or impact, the Dodge Occupant Restraint Controller can store crash event data, deployment history, seatbelt pretensioner records, side-impact records, and internal lockout information. A scan tool may clear normal active circuit faults, but stored crash data and deployment history usually require bench-level memory reset.
Our service reads the original Dodge ORC module, clears crash data and internal event records, preserves original configuration where applicable, and returns your same module ready to reinstall.
Covers Dodge SRS / ORC airbag control modules — common 560, 681, 682, 683, and 684 Occupant Restraint Module families. Crash data cleared, deployment records removed, resettable SRS hard faults repaired, same original Dodge module returned.
Don’t want to read the whole page? Here’s how it works.
Three simple steps. No dealer. Your original Dodge ORC module back, reset and ready to install.
Add to Cart & Pay
Complete checkout and receive your order number and ship-to address.
Print Receipt & Ship
Include your order number in the box with your Dodge ORC / airbag module.
Reset & Returned
We clear crash data, verify communication, and return your original module.
Seatbelt locked or stuck? Read this before you ship.
If your Dodge seatbelt pretensioner fired, resetting the module alone will not unlock or repair the belt. The fired belt or pretensioner must be replaced or rebuilt. Our service clears the module’s crash record and pretensioner-fire record; the physical deployed component must still be repaired.
Important Dodge issue — ORC internal faults after crash data or deployment
Dodge / Mopar vehicles commonly store crash data in the ORC after a front impact, side impact, curtain-airbag deployment, rollover event, or seatbelt pretensioner deployment. Codes such as B2208 can point to ORC internal faults. Some internal faults are software/crash-data related and repairable; some are true hardware failure.
If the original Dodge ORC is locked from crash history, the correct repair is a bench reset of the original module plus replacement of any physically deployed airbags, pretensioners, sensors, or damaged wiring. Our reset clears crash/event data in the module; it does not repair deployed parts still installed in the vehicle.
Why Karmanauto — Verifiable Expertise You Can Check Before You Ship Your Module
Karmanauto has been in business since 1999 and online since 2006. We are not an anonymous drop-box service. Our process is documented publicly through the Vehix411 YouTube channel and our Airbag Module Repair & Reset School, where we have trained shops and technicians since 2010.
When You Need a Dodge SRS Airbag Module Reset
Dodge airbag light stays on after an accident
If the SRS warning light came on after a collision, fender bender, curb strike, seatbelt pretensioner event, or airbag deployment, the Dodge ORC may contain stored crash data that will not clear with normal scan-tool commands.
Dodge seatbelt is locked after impact
A locked Dodge seatbelt after an impact usually means the pretensioner fired. The module records that event, and the belt assembly itself must be replaced or rebuilt.
Dodge airbag light on after airbag replacement
Replacing airbags, curtains, seatbelts, or impact sensors does not automatically clear the module’s internal crash history. The original Dodge ORC still needs to be reset if crash data is stored.
Dodge ORC internal fault after collision repair
If your Dodge shows B2208, ORC internal, stored deployment data, crash event memory, or internal module fault after a crash, the original ORC may need crash reset or internal module repair depending on the damage.
Dealer quoted a new Occupant Restraint Controller
Dealer replacement can be expensive and may require configuration. In many cases, resetting the original module is faster and more cost-effective when the module is readable and not physically damaged.
Common Dodge / Mopar Occupant Restraint Module part numbers include 56054850AD / 56054850AE, 56043703AG, 56054624AF, 68185855AB, 68299147AG, 68394935AA, 68414436AB, and many other 560, 681, 682, 683, and 684-series ORC modules. If you are unsure, send a clear photo of the module label before shipping.
Dodge Occupant Restraint Controller Part Number Family Explained
Dodge OEM catalogs commonly list the airbag computer as an Occupant Restraint Module, Occupant Restraint Controller, Diagnostic Module, Diagnostic Unit, SDM Module, or Air Bag Control Module. Common Mopar part-number families include 560, 681, 682, 683, and 684-series modules. The exact suffix changes by year, trim, body style, and restraint configuration, so the safest method is to confirm by module label and VIN before shipping.

What the reset actually clears
Our reset clears crash-related data stored in the Dodge ORC: deployment records, crash event memory, seatbelt pretensioner fire records, side-impact/curtain deployment records where applicable, and internal lockout/event flags.
Our reset does not repair physical vehicle faults such as broken wiring, open squib circuits, faulty impact sensors, bad seatbelt pretensioners, unplugged connectors, passenger seat sensor faults, ORC hardware failure, or a water-damaged / burned module.

Dodge ORC / Airbag Module Location
Most Dodge Occupant Restraint Controllers are mounted in the center tunnel / center console area, usually near the floor between the front seats. Some truck and van platforms may place the ORC under center trim or near the floor-mounted console area. Always disconnect the battery and wait before unplugging SRS components.
The Karmanauto Dodge ORC Reset Process
- Intake and inspection: module is logged by order number and checked for water, burn, or connector damage.
- Bench communication: module is powered and communication is verified where possible.
- Pre-reset read: stored SRS data and memory are read and backed up.
- Crash data reset: crash/event records and lockout data are cleared at memory level.
- Post-reset verification: reset data is saved and communication is checked again.
- Return shipping: original module is packed and shipped back.

Dodge Airbag Reset — Quick Answers
Can a Dodge ORC be reset after a crash? Yes, when the original module is readable and not physically damaged.
Can a scan tool clear Dodge crash data? A scan tool can clear normal active faults, but crash/event records stored internally usually require bench reset.
What if my Dodge has B2208? B2208 is an ORC internal fault pattern. Some cases are software/crash-data related and repairable; some are true hardware failure.
Will this unlock my seatbelt? No. A fired pretensioner must be replaced or rebuilt.
What if my part number starts with 560, 681, 682, 683, or 684? Those are common Dodge / Mopar ORC module families we service when readable and not physically damaged.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can a Dodge airbag module be reset after a crash?
Yes. Stored crash data can usually be cleared from the original Dodge ORC if it is readable and not physically damaged.
Can a scanner clear Dodge crash data?
A scanner can clear normal active faults, but crash event storage and deployment records usually require bench reset.
What if my Dodge has B1B02 or B1B06?
B1B02 and B1B06 are driver airbag squib circuit open codes. If the airbag, clockspring, connector, or wiring fault is still present, it must be repaired in the vehicle. Crash data reset does not fix an open circuit.
Do you fix bad wiring, deployed parts, or seat sensors?
No. We reset the module. Physical vehicle faults and deployed components must be repaired separately.
What should I ship?
Ship only the Occupant Restraint Controller / airbag control module. Do not ship airbags, seatbelts, or pyrotechnic parts.
