Nissan Airbag Module Crash Reset & Repair Service — All Nissan Models 1995–2026
Nissan airbag module reset performed by Dan Karman — Nissan SRS module specialist since 1999, online since 2006. Full reset process documented on our YouTube channel. Reference updated April 2026.
Every Nissan SRS airbag control module from 1995 through 2026 can be bench-reset after a crash when the module is readable and not physically damaged. Common Nissan airbag diagnosis sensor unit / control module families include 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 module plug-and-play in most cases.
After a deployment or impact, the Nissan Air Bag Diagnosis Sensor Unit / SRS control module can store crash event data and deployment history internally. A scan tool may clear normal active faults, but stored crash data and deployment records require bench-level memory reset.
Our service reads the original module, clears crash data and internal event records, preserves original configuration where applicable, and returns your same module ready to reinstall.
Covers Nissan 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 module returned.
Don’t want to read the whole page? Here’s how it works.
Three simple steps. No dealer. Your original Nissan 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 Nissan 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 Nissan 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 Nissan issue — Crash zone / diagnosis sensor faults after impact
Nissan vehicles often store crash-related data in the Air Bag Diagnosis Sensor Unit after a front, side, rear, or pretensioner event. Customers may see SRS warning lights, crash zone sensor faults, side-impact sensor faults, occupant sensor faults, or deployment-history related codes.
Before replacing impact sensors, clocksprings, seat buckles, 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 a Nissan SRS Airbag Module Reset
Nissan 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.
Nissan seatbelt is locked after impact
A locked Nissan seatbelt after an impact usually means the pretensioner fired. The module records that event, and the belt assembly itself must be replaced or rebuilt.
Nissan 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.
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.
Common Nissan airbag diagnosis sensor unit / airbag control module families include 98820-XXXXX and older 28556-XXXXX. Some related impact and side sensor parts use other prefixes such as 98830. If you are unsure, send a clear photo of the module label before shipping.
Nissan Airbag Module Part Number Family Explained
Nissan commonly labels the main SRS control unit as an Air Bag Diagnosis Sensor Unit, Air Bag Control Module, Sensor-Side Air Bag Center, or SDM/RCM-style module depending on catalog and model year. The most common center-module family seen on late-model Nissan vehicles is 98820-XXXXX. Older Nissan vehicles may use 28556-XXXXX diagnosis sensor units.

Nissan SRS Diagnostic Trouble Code Reference
Common Nissan SRS codes below are examples seen during airbag reset and crash-data work. Nissan code meanings can vary by model year and scan tool, so always verify the exact DTC against the vehicle service information. This section is for SEO and customer education: crash/event memory can be reset in the module, but wiring faults, bad sensors, open squibs, and fired pretensioners must be repaired on the vehicle.
Crash / collision / sensor unit codes
- B1422: Side collision detection / side crash event stored on some Nissan platforms. This is a crash-data style fault and normally cannot be cleared with a regular scan-tool erase.
- B1033: Crash zone sensor fault. The crash zone sensor detects frontal collision deceleration and reports to the Air Bag Diagnosis Sensor Unit.
- B0094: Crash zone sensor fault / front crash sensor related fault on some Nissan platforms.
- B1001–B1007: Air Bag Diagnosis Sensor Unit / SRS control unit internal fault range. Some may be crash-data related; true internal hardware failure is not fixed by reset.
- B1193: Crash event / crash data stored style code on some restraint-control systems. Treat as platform-dependent and verify by vehicle.
Driver / passenger airbag circuit codes
- B1049: Driver air bag module open.
- B1054: Driver air bag module open / driver airbag circuit open on many Nissan applications.
- B1059: Driver airbag module circuit fault on some platforms; verify exact sub-code by vehicle.
- B1065 / B1066: Passenger airbag module circuit fault on some Nissan platforms; verify exact meaning by vehicle.
- B0001 / B0002: Frontal airbag deployment circuit faults on some scan tools/platforms.
Side impact / satellite sensor codes
- B0093: Left front door satellite sensor.
- B0098: Right front door satellite sensor on some Nissan / Infiniti applications.
- B0091 / B0096: Side impact sensor related faults on some platforms.
- B0092 / B0097: Rear side impact sensor related faults on some platforms.
- B0020 / B0028: Side airbag module circuit faults on some scan tools/platforms.
- B0021 / B0029: Curtain airbag module circuit faults on some scan tools/platforms.
Seatbelt pretensioner / buckle codes
- B1081: Front seatbelt pretensioner right open.
- B1086: Front seatbelt pretensioner left open on some Nissan applications.
- B1430 / B1431: Seatbelt pretensioner / buckle related faults on some platforms.
- B1428 / B1429: Seatbelt buckle switch related faults on some platforms.
- Important: A fired pretensioner is a physical deployment. Resetting the module clears the record, but the belt or pretensioner must still be replaced or rebuilt.
Occupant classification / passenger detection codes
- B1018: Occupant sensor / passenger classification sensor fault.
- B00A0: Occupant Classification System (OCS) fault on some scan tools/platforms.
- B00D5: Passenger airbag OFF indicator / occupant system related fault on some platforms.
- Note: Occupant classification faults usually need seat sensor calibration or physical repair; crash reset alone does not repair a bad OCS sensor.
Communication / CAN network codes
- U1000: CAN communication circuit fault.
- U1001: CAN communication / network fault on some Nissan platforms.
- U1010: Control unit communication fault.
- U0151: Lost communication with restraint control module / SRS module.
- U0100: Lost communication with ECM/PCM.
- U0121: Lost communication with ABS/VDC module.
What the reset actually clears
Our reset clears crash-related data stored in the Nissan airbag diagnosis sensor unit: deployment records, crash event memory, pretensioner fire records, 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, or a water-damaged / burned module.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a Nissan airbag module be reset after a crash?
Yes. Stored crash data can usually be cleared from the original module if it is readable and not physically damaged.
Can a scan tool clear Nissan crash data?
A scan tool can clear normal active faults, but crash/event records stored internally often require bench reset.
Do you reset Infiniti modules too?
Yes. Infiniti uses related Nissan SRS architecture. See our Infiniti airbag reset service.
What if my Nissan 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.
Do you fix bad wiring or sensors?
No. We reset the module. Physical vehicle faults 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.
