What Happens if Airbags Deploy During Removal Without Disconnecting the Battery?

Did your airbags accidentally deploy while removing them because the battery wasn’t disconnected? You’re not alone—and yes, your airbag control module (SRS module) has recorded the event as a crash and needs to be reset.

Here’s why:

When airbags deploy, whether during a real collision or an accidental discharge—the airbag module receives the same electrical signals that indicate a crash. Once this happens, the module stores crash data and typically becomes locked, disabling the SRS system until the module is either replaced or reset.

Replacing an airbag module with a new one can be expensive and often requires reprogramming to match your vehicle’s configuration. But there’s a better solution: MyAirbags offers an airbag module reset service that clears crash data and restores full functionality. No programming needed. Just send in your original module, and it will be plug-and-play when returned.

What if Seat Belts Deployed Too?

If the airbags deployed, chances are your seat belts locked or deployed too. These components are part of your vehicle’s safety restraint system, and they must be functional to pass inspection or keep you safe. MyAirbags also rebuilds seat belt retractors and pretensioners, restoring them to like-new condition at a fraction of the cost of buying new.
