### SRS Airbag Module Reset

After a vehicle has been in an accident, the airbag control module needs to be repaired or reset in order to be used again.

The dealer and/or scan tools will not be able to clear hard code due to hardware issues. After we reset your module, you will not need to take it to the dealer for any additional programming. When you receive the module back from us it will be as good as new. Almost all airbag modules can be reset unless they have experienced flood or fire damage. It is always best to send your original module to us for reset to avoid an additional trip to the dealer for coding. Most of the late model cars will have partial VIN stored in the airbag control module.

Since 2006, MyAirbags has been providing excellent technical support and repair/reset services to body shops, collision shops, car dealers, and individuals, saving them time and money!
