Did your dealership tell you that you have a bad module?
We reset all fault codes, which means that after you receive your repaired module from us you will not have to take it to the dealership for additional programming. All airbag control modules can be reset and reprogrammed, except modules that were damaged by a flood, fire, or some other kind of damage that impacted the hardware. Airbag control modules store hard and soft codes caused by accidents. Even after small accidents, fault codes will be stored in the module which will turn on the airbag light. We reset and clear all crash codes inside the computer module which will turn off the airbag light.

3. Should I Have My Airbag Module Reset or Should I Buy a Used Module?
The certified technicians at MyAirbags recommend resetting your vehicle’s airbag module if the vehicle has been involved in an accident. Reset airbag modules eliminate the need for any additional programming, and, when properly installing the module back in your vehicle, the airbag light will turn off. Your repaired and returned airbag modules are “factory reset” and as good as new. The module is free from all hard and soft codes. If your airbag light is still on after reinstalling it back in the vehicle, there is most likely a problem with one of the connections or one of the following components are bad:- Airbags
- Seat belts
- Clock spring
- Impact sensors. Stored soft codes will reveal this damage or fault to the impact sensor. One of our technicians will see this indication during the scan.
4. Does MyAirbags Sell Module Replacements?
MyAirbags does sell replacement airbag computer modules.
MyAirbags does sell replacement airbag computer modules. In order to locate the proper replacement module, refer to the part number that is on top of your module. NOTE: All used or new airbag control modules require programming or configuration to the specific VIN of your vehicle. You can quickly search for your replacement module in our database here: OEM SRS Airbag Modules Ready To Ship. You can also call us about a replacement airbag computer module. If this is your preference, please have the original part number ready to give our customer service representatives. Once we have the original module part number, we will be able to quickly verify if we have the required replacement airbag computer module in stock.5. What if I’ve Already Purchased a New or Used SRS Control Module Replacement?
We advise our customers to compare the part number of their replacement airbag computer module to their vehicle’s original module. If the part numbers do not match, it is unlikely that the airbag module will work in the vehicle. It is important to remember that the airbag module must be for the exact same vehicle that it came from. For example, if the bad module is from a 2008 Honda Accord, the replacement must be for a 2008 Honda Accord. The airbag module part number from the original and the replacement must match. Even then, there is still a chance that the airbag light will turn on. IMPORTANT: you must follow the correct steps, previously detailed above in the “Critically Important Steps” found in one of the sections above. All other repair parts should be verified to ensure that they did not come from a flood-damaged vehicle. If you have done everything else successfully, the airbag module may need to be reprogrammed for the specific VIN of your car by that manufacturer’s dealership. It is for this reason that MyAirbags always recommends that customers send in the original modules from their vehicles for reset. Each module requires the VIN code for the VIN of the automobile it is in.
