- Airbag light on?
- Airbags deployed?
- Diagnostic tool reads “crash data stored”
- Dealership tells you that you have a bad module?
If your vehicle was in an accident and your airbag light is on, you will need to have your airbag module reset. The airbag control module will store crash codes, hard codes, soft codes, and latch codes. Dealership or body shops cannot clear these codes with a diagnostic scan tool because the unit is locked after an accident. At MyAirbags, our technicians will fully test your module and restore it to its OEM original factory state, saving you hundreds of dollars.
New module vs Reset module
It is always best to send your original module to us for reset to avoid an additional trip to the dealership for coding. Most of the late model cars will have a partial VIN stored in the airbag control module. When you send the unit to us we will restore it to its factory state, and keep all configurations the same.
Hard codes will be stored in the module after even a small accident, but now the same module can be reused. Reusing the module will save time and money, because a new one will need to be programmed to your vehicle VIN which can be expensive.
Seat belt locked ?
Check your seat belts to see if they are locked, stuck, loose or do not retract. If they are then they will need to be replaced or rebuilt.
