Answer: When deciding which airbag control module to send for a reset, it is generally recommended to send your original module.
Important: If your vehicle was in an accident/collision then it is always best to send your original airbag control module for reset. Because the replacement module may not work properly if the part number on the module is different or if it needs additional programming for your specific vehicle. The advantage of having your original airbag control module reset by MyAirbags is that it will be plug-n-play once you receive it back, and not additional programming will be needed. Because your airbag control module was originally programmed to your vehicle.
Here’s why:
-
Compatibility:
- The original airbag control module is specifically programmed and calibrated for your vehicle’s make and model, ensuring optimal compatibility with all the sensors and safety systems.
-
Crash Data:
- If your original module has stored crash data due to an accident, MyAirbags can clear this data and reset the module to its factory settings. This process restores the module to a like-new condition, ready to be reinstalled in your vehicle.
-
Cost-Effectiveness:
- Using your original module can be more cost-effective than purchasing a new one. Resetting the original module typically costs less than buying and programming a replacement.
-
Peace of Mind:
- Sending your original module ensures that the part you receive back will definitely fit and work with your vehicle. There is no risk of compatibility issues that sometimes occur with replacement modules.
Send your original airbag control module to MyAirbags for reset to ensure compatibility, cost-effectiveness, and peace of mind. MyAirbags will clear any crash data and restore the module to its factory settings, ready for reinstallation.
