★ Seat Belt Repair ★ SRS Module Reset ★ Seat Belt Webbing Replacement ★
Service Description
If your vehicle has been in an accident, there's a good chance the airbags and seat belts have deployed. When this happens, your airbag control module will store SRS codes and crash data, causing the airbag light to come on. In order for the module to function normally again, you will need to mail it in for a crash data reset.
At Seat Belt Masters, we offer an airbag control module reset service to clear all crash data and restore your module back to factory condition. With over 20 years of industry experience, you can count on us to help you clear the SRS light on your dash. Using our proprietary module reset software, we'll ensure that no crash data is left behind and that your module will be as good as new.

★ Airbag Module Reset Tier 2 Disclosure ★
Some advanced airbag control modules store crash data in the MCU Processor. These units require additional programming and labor to be successfully reset. In this event, there will be a $20 charge added to the original reset cost. If you would like to know ahead of time if your unit is subject to the Tier 2 Upgrade Fee, please message us a picture and/or part number of the SRS Unit and we will promptly let you know.

Crash Course on Airbag Modules
The airbag control module is basically the "brains" of the entire airbag system. Also known as an airbag computer, it is in charge of all SRS functions, storing SRS codes, and logging crash data history in the event of an accident. During normal operation, the airbag control module is constantly monitoring data from various sensors and systems throughout the vehicle. Some of this information can include vehicle speed, occupant detection, brake use, deceleration force, seat belt use, and more. As soon as impact is detected, the airbag control module will make a split-second decision on which SRS components to deploy, if any, based on the data it receives.
The airbag system on your vehicle is critically important in protecting you and your passengers during an accident. An illuminated airbag light indicates that there is a problem with your airbag system and may disable SRS functions. It is not advisable to operate your vehicle with your airbag light on. All active SRS faults will need to be addressed (e.g. if your seat belt is deployed, it will also need to be sent in for a repair, if your impact sensor is damaged, it will need to be replaced, etc.). Resetting your airbag module will not override existing SRS faults, the codes will return until they are addressed. The best way to determine which SRS codes/faults you have is to scan the vehicle with an OBD2 scan tool.
Check out our FAQ Section to better understand the difference between crash data and SRS codes.
Depending on the vehicle manufacturer, the airbag control module can go by different names, such as:
- Supplemental Restraint Unit (SRS Unit)
- Restraint Control Module (RCM)
- Airbag Control Module (ACM)
- Airbag Electronic Crash Unit (Airbag ECU)
- Sensing Diagnostic Module (SDM)
- Sophisticated Airbag Sensor (SAS)
- SRS Control Module (SRSCM)
Airbag Control Module Location
If you still need to remove the airbag control module from your vehicle but don't know where it's located, this guide can help! Listed below are the top three locations where you may find the airbag control module in your vehicle.
Airbag Module Removal Tip: Try doing an online search on how to remove the airbag control module from a vehicle similar to yours. There's a good chance that someone has already done it in the past and documented it in a forum post, photo guide, or video tutorial. Do at your own risk! We cannot speak to the credibility of these tutorials. When in doubt, we always recommend following the service manual guide on removing the airbag control module. Common industry practice is to always have the battery disconnected when removing/installing SRS components. Yellow connectors will generally indicate that a component is part of the SRS (Supplemental Restraint System).
Any tampering of the SRS Unit before or after the reset will void our included warranty. We do not work on flooded modules. Modules that are physically damaged (broken connectors, damaged casing, etc.) are subject to a rejection of repairs.

What's the Difference Between SRS Codes and Crash Data?
SRS codes will generally point to active or current SRS faults found in the vehicle. This includes deployed seat belts, damaged sensors, wiring issues, etc. Most of the time, you can see a high/low resistance or open/short circuit description for these components.
Crash data is permanent history that gets stored in the airbag control module after an accident. It is encoded in complex format that cannot be cleared or read by ordinary OBD2 scan tools. You may only get a generic description outlining the data as STORED or HISTORY codes.
Though it's not always the case, a flashing SRS light is indicative of SRS codes, whereas a solid SRS light is indicative of crash data history.
What is an OPDS or OCS Unit?
If you scan your vehicle with an OBD2 scanner, you may come across an OPDS or OCS code. The OPDS (Occupant Position Detection System) or OCS (Occupant Classification System) generally refers to a sensor, or a series of sensors, located in the front passenger seat. The primary purpose of this system is to detect the presence of a passenger to help determine whether or not to deploy the passenger airbags or seat belts.
This is genearlly related into the "Passenger Airbag OFF" indicator light that you may see on your control panel. If you are getting codes for the OPDS/OCS unit, it may need to be re-calibrated. This is generally done with an OBD2 scan tool.
Can you provide me with a receipt for salvage inspection?
Bought a salvage title vehicle from the auction? Chances are, you may have to undergo a salvage inspection with receipts proving all major repairs/replacements. We can provide you with a formal company repair receipt if necessary. Just let us know!
Can I send multiple parts in one box?
Yes, of course! Just make sure to package your parts securely to avoid any damages during shipping.
