Infiniti Airbag Module Crash Reset & Repair Service — All Infiniti Models 1995–2026
Infiniti airbag module reset performed by Dan Karman — Infiniti SRS module specialist since 1999, online since 2006. Full reset process documented on our YouTube channel. Reference updated April 2026.
Quick answer:
Every Infiniti SRS airbag control module from 1995 through 2026 can be bench-reset after a crash when the module is readable and not physically damaged. Infiniti shares Nissan SRS architecture, with common airbag diagnosis sensor unit / control module families including 98820-XXXXX and older 28556-XXXXX units. Karmanauto clears crash event data, deployment records, and internal lockout flags directly from module memory and returns your original Infiniti module plug-and-play in most cases.
Why you need a bench reset, not just a scan-tool clear
After a deployment or impact, the Infiniti Air Bag Diagnosis Sensor Unit / SRS control module can store crash event data, deployment history, and internal lockout information. A scan tool may clear normal active faults, but crash data and deployment history often require bench-level memory reset.
Our service reads the original Infiniti module, clears crash data and internal event records, preserves original configuration where applicable, and returns your same module ready to reinstall.
Covers Infiniti SRS airbag control modules — common 98820-XXXXX and older 28556-XXXXX Air Bag Diagnosis Sensor Unit families. Crash data cleared, deployment records removed, hard resettable SRS faults repaired, same original Infiniti module returned.

Three simple steps. No dealer. Your original Infiniti 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 Infiniti SRS 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 Infiniti 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 Infiniti issue — Crash data, side impact faults, and sensor calibration after repair
Infiniti vehicles share Nissan SRS architecture and commonly store crash/event data in the Air Bag Diagnosis Sensor Unit after a front, side, rear, curtain-airbag, or seatbelt pretensioner event. Customers may see SRS warning lights, crash zone sensor faults, side-impact sensor faults, curtain airbag circuit faults, occupant classification faults, or deployment-history related codes.
Before replacing impact sensors, clocksprings, seat buckles, occupant sensors, or the entire SRS control module, confirm whether the original module contains stored crash/event data. If the module is locked from crash history, the correct repair is a bench reset of the original module plus replacement of any physically deployed airbags or pretensioners.

When You Need an Infiniti SRS Airbag Module Reset
Infiniti SRS 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 airbag diagnosis sensor unit may contain stored crash data that will not clear with normal scan-tool commands.
Infiniti seatbelt is locked after impact
A locked Infiniti seatbelt after an impact usually means the pretensioner fired. The module records that event, and the belt assembly itself must be replaced or rebuilt.
Infiniti SRS light on after airbag replacement
Replacing airbags or seatbelts does not automatically clear the module’s internal crash history. The original module still needs to be reset.
VDC, steering angle, or ABS lights after collision repair
If the SRS light is repaired but the VDC, slip, ABS, or steering angle light remains on, that is usually a vehicle calibration issue, not failed crash reset. Infiniti models may require steering angle sensor calibration, yaw-rate calibration, ABS/VDC relearn, or occupant classification zero-point reset after body, suspension, steering, or seat work.
Dealer quoted a new airbag control module
Dealer replacement can be expensive and may require configuration. In many cases, resetting the original module is faster and more cost-effective.

Infiniti Airbag Reset — Quick Answers
Can an Infiniti airbag module be reset after a crash? Yes, when the original module is readable and not physically damaged.
Do I need dealer programming? Most original-module resets are plug-and-play because your original configuration is retained.
Will this unlock my seatbelt? No. A fired pretensioner must be replaced or rebuilt.
Will this fix steering angle, VDC, or slip light codes? No. Those are vehicle calibration or ABS/VDC issues and must be handled on the car after the SRS module is installed.
What if my part number starts with 98820? That is a common Infiniti center airbag control module family we service.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can an Infiniti airbag module be reset after a crash?
Yes. Stored crash data can usually be cleared from the original Infiniti module if it is readable and not physically damaged.
Can a scan tool clear Infiniti crash data?
A scan tool can clear normal active faults, but crash/event records stored internally often require bench reset.
Is Infiniti the same as Nissan for airbag reset?
Infiniti shares Nissan SRS architecture and many module families, but the page, model coverage, luxury-platform options, VDC integration, and calibration notes are Infiniti-specific.
What if my Infiniti has no codes but the SRS light is on?
That can happen after impact or module lockout. The module should be checked before replacing random sensors.
What if my Infiniti has VDC, slip, ABS, or steering angle lights after repair?
That is usually not an airbag module crash-data problem. Steering angle, yaw-rate, VDC, ABS, or occupant classification calibration may be required on the vehicle after collision repair or alignment.
Do you fix bad wiring or sensors?
No. We reset the module. Physical vehicle faults and calibrations must be repaired separately.
What should I ship?
Ship only the airbag control module / Air Bag Diagnosis Sensor Unit. Do not ship airbags, seatbelts, or pyrotechnic parts.
