# Can you reset airbag modules after an accident?

Yes, MyAirbags can reset airbag control modules after an accident. The airbag control module, also known as the SRS control module, airbag ECU, or airbag computer, acts like a black box in an airplane. It records crash data and the vehicle’s accident history, which is why it needs to be reset after a collision. When an accident occurs, crash data is stored in the module, and it cannot be cleared without a proper reset.

At MyAirbags, we specialize in safely clearing this crash data and restoring the module to factory condition, making it fully functional again without the need to buy a new one. Once reset, the module will be plug-and-play, requiring no additional programming. Simply send your airbag module to us, and we’ll reset it within 24 hours, helping you save time and money.

Additionally, we recommend checking your seat belts after an accident. In many cases, seat belts may also need to be repaired or replaced, and MyAirbags offers expert seat belt repair services to ensure your vehicle’s safety systems are fully restored.

MyAirbags repairs parts with a fast 24-hour turnaround. Ship your part to us for airbag module resets, seat belt repairs, and more. Save hundreds with our OEM-quality repairs since 2006.
