# Did your Airbag Light come on after being in an accident?

Many issues can arise after being in an accident, even a minor accident.

- airbags deployed
- diagnostic tool reads "crash data stored"
- dealership tells you that you have a bad module

  

## New Module vs Original Reset Module

  

## Send Airbag Module for Reset

STEP 1   Carefully remove airbag module from your vehicle

STEP 2   Securely pack the airbags, using the correct box so that your unit cannot be damaged in transit. Take special care when packing.

STEP 3  Send Your Part to MyAirbags  Make sure that you include:

1. Your Name
2. Phone #
3. Return Address    
   Once the team at [MyAirbags](https://www.myairbags.com) receives your part, it will be diagnosed, repaired and mailed back to you within 24 hours. Make sure you ask us about our Lifetime Warranty when you visit the website, call, or chat with us!
