Airbag Module & Crash Data Reset.
After a deployment, most airbag modules store crash data that locks them out of service. Replacement is the dealer route — and it's expensive. We reset crash data on around 99% of modules in-house, restoring the original unit to working order.

Frequently asked
Common questions, plain answers.
01Is resetting an airbag module safe and legal?
When done correctly on a module that has not been physically damaged, resetting clears the crash data and returns the module to its pre-deployment state. The car must of course have all replaced airbag and pretensioner components in working order before the SRS system is recommissioned.
02Can you reset the airbag module on any car?
We cover around 99% of modules fitted to UK passenger cars and light commercials — VAG group, BMW, Mercedes, Land Rover, Ford, Vauxhall, Toyota, Honda, Nissan and others. The remaining 1% are usually very recent modules with new encryption — we'll tell you on diagnosis whether yours is supported.
03How much does a reset cost compared to a replacement module?
A reset is typically a fraction of the cost of a new module from the main dealer, and there's no programming or coding required afterwards because it's the original unit.
04How long does the work take?
The module reset itself is usually a same-day job once the car is on the ramp. We give a firm time in the quote.
