Restore Tesla Airbag Module SKU 48906 with MyAirbags

A properly functioning airbag control module is critical for ensuring safety in every Tesla vehicle on the road. This component serves as the command center of the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS), triggering airbag deployment and initiating protective responses during a crash. When this module becomes locked due to crash data storage, the vehicle's safety systems are compromised until it is reset or replaced. This can result in costly repairs, extended vehicle downtime, and unnecessary replacement expenses that affect both private owners and commercial fleets.

At MyAirbags, we provide a trusted, efficient alternative: resetting your original Tesla airbag control module. This solution not only restores OEM functionality but also saves customers hundreds or even thousands of dollars. With Tesla replacement parts being notoriously expensive and often backordered, a reset offers a cost-effective path to full system restoration. In this guide, we explain the function of the airbag module, what causes it to lock, and how our services help Tesla owners nationwide. We also provide details on part compatibility, the reset process, and expert advice from UpFix’s repair professionals, including support for Tesla Wall Chargers.

Understanding the Tesla Airbag Control Module

To appreciate the value of resetting a Tesla airbag module, it helps to understand its core function. The airbag control module, often referred to as the SRS or ACM unit, monitors critical crash-related data in real time. Upon detecting an impact, it communicates with sensors and triggers the necessary airbag deployment to protect passengers. Once the system records this data, the module becomes locked and inoperable until it is repaired or reset.

Tesla airbag modules are engineered for advanced electric vehicles and are compatible across multiple models. This includes the Model 3 and Model Y (from 2021 to 2025), the Model S and Model X (from 2012 to 2021), and the new Tesla Cybertruck. The part numbers commonly encountered include 1512876-00-E and 1872985-00-A, both of which are supported by our reset services. These modules frequently log crash codes like B1193:68-AF and U3000:50, which signal that the device has been triggered and requires attention before reuse.

Replacing the airbag module is possible but comes with limitations. Tesla replacement parts can cost thousands of dollars, and compatibility issues often arise when using modules not coded to a vehicle's original VIN. Availability may also be restricted due to supply chain constraints. That’s why MyAirbags prioritizes the reset method—we restore your exact part number and return it to you quickly, fully functional, and cost-effective.

What the Airbag (SRS) Module Does in Tesla Vehicles?

The SRS module is vital in managing crash detection and passenger protection. It links to various sensors placed throughout the Tesla, including accelerometers, seatbelt tensioners, and impact sensors. When the vehicle detects an unusual jolt or sudden deceleration, this unit evaluates the input, then activates seatbelt tightening and airbag deployment accordingly. This action occurs in milliseconds and plays a critical role in preventing injury or fatality.

Tesla's airbag modules are designed with unique firmware and software architecture, ensuring seamless integration with electric systems. Because Tesla vehicles are so technologically advanced, using an incorrect or aftermarket module can result in system errors or failed safety checks. That’s why we ensure your reset module is fully OEM-compliant, with original VIN data retained and no alterations to the code structure.

Why Airbag Modules Lock After a Crash?

After a crash, the airbag control module locks itself to preserve incident data for diagnostic and insurance purposes. This crash memory includes the severity of the impact, angle of collision, deployment data, and more. Codes such as B1193:68-AF typically indicate a crash event stored in the system. Similarly, U3000:50 reflects a control module fault resulting from the collision or subsequent power disruption.

This locking mechanism is a built-in safety feature, ensuring that the same module is not reused without proper inspection and repair. However, it also poses a problem: Tesla owners cannot clear this data themselves, and dealerships often recommend full module replacement instead of repair. Our service offers a smarter approach: we clear all crash data and reset the system to factory standards.

Why Replacing the Module Isn’t Always Necessary?

Buying a new airbag module may seem like the most straightforward solution, but it comes with high costs and risks. Tesla modules are not universally compatible, and using an incompatible part can lead to failed system checks, dashboard errors, or worse—non-deployment in the event of a crash. We emphasize that part numbers like 1512876-00-E and 1872985-00-A must match the original for safe and reliable operation.

Resetting avoids these challenges entirely. It is not only more affordable but also faster, eliminating weeks of wait time associated with Tesla part orders. Our reset services maintain OEM specifications, ensuring your system is fully restored without needing reprogramming at a dealership. This makes our solution ideal for shops, rebuilders, and Tesla owners who want to save time and money.

Case Study: Tesla Model Y 2022 Crash Module Reset

Understanding our impact is easier when you see our process in action. One of our clients recently submitted a locked airbag module from a 2022 Tesla Model Y. The module was reporting crash code B1193:68-AF after a low-speed rear collision. The airbags did not deploy, but the module became inoperable and prevented the vehicle from passing inspection.

Upon receiving the unit, our team conducted a multi-point inspection and verified the part number. We cleared the crash memory, verified the integrity of the internal components, and reinstalled the factory firmware. Using Tesla OEM diagnostic protocols, we ensured full functionality before shipping it back to the client.

The client reinstalled the module and ran a full system scan, which confirmed that all SRS systems were operational. They avoided a $2,000+ replacement cost and had the vehicle road-ready within 48 hours. This case is one of thousands that demonstrate the effectiveness of our process and our commitment to quality.
