Step By Step Air Bag Module Reset Procedure and Other SRS Related Tasks to Finish Acura Interior
Vložit

- In this video I'm going to finish the interior, including getting the roof and seat airbags replaced after which the seat will get restitched. But the main focus of the video will be the step by step turorial on what is takes to get the SRS module (AKA airbag computer) reprogrammed in order to reactivate the restraint system.

You fixed the car and reset the ECU, more importantly, share the precious experience like a hero.
Thanks Best... Figured id share the knowledge...
You Sir are the next level of Master DIY. This is what I consider as fixing. Even dealership will just rips parts out and replaces new ones, not even repairing the faulty small parts and calls it a repair. Thanks so much for sharing!
Wow, thanks! Glad to help !!
Thank you this is exactly what I was looking for, so frustrating watching hours of videos of people trying to sell a service, thank you thank you
This is exactly how I felt when I spent days online doing the research into this topic...
You might want to put a spritz of clearcoat over that chip after the final cleaning. It serves to protect it from corrosion. Excellent layman's explanation of chip reprogramming 👍
There are some poor auto repair videos on you tube...but this is NOT one of them!. Great camera work in tight places ie focus and stillish and with light. Great explanations, and no steps missed out , you know the really difficult ones that people spend hours trying to work out but the video just skips right past it. Not the case here. For example we didn't suddenly go from " I need to remove the crash data from this module..." to ...."Well after I got the module back from the guys who sorted this for me all I have to do is refit it in the vehicle. Simple eh? " Pffft!! Like that is no help at all. But this Fx206 could show these a guys a thing or two. Well done, and trust me a well done from me is very hard to get. Two thumbs up. :)
Tory, thank you so much for such a positive comment! I usually try to be as thorough as possible when making videos. This way it's not just the entertainment value, but I want folks to take something away after watching. Same as you I am hard to please, I seldom comment on other peoples videos, but if I do it usually means that the video was awful and I feel like I have to say something, or video was great and I feel like I have to let the creator know that I appreciate the effort he put into it !
This guy has the BEST, most informative DIY automotive repair channel on CZcams! Love your videos man. Not only do you show how to repair thre vehicles but how to repair parts of the vehicles and how to make the tools to repair the vehicles! Couldn't give enough thumbs up.
Wow, thanks! That's a heck of a complement. I'm a cheapskate myself so instead of farming out any of the work to someone else I like to educate myself I'm just about anything that I do so this way I can always do my own repairs myself. And I figured since I have learned as much as I have, now it's time to pass on my knowledge onto others. I'm glad you're finding my videos informative. Thanks again for the comment
It's one thing to be frugal. It's another to be smart enough to take frugality to the next level! Just yesterday I was researching DIY OBD reading and such. This stuff was so on point with all of that. Thanks for sharing...
Thank you Owen !!, it took quite a bit of research to make this video happen. My only hope is that it is helpful to folks such as yourself 👍
It's certainly been a while since your last video (4 months). No doubt you'll have videos a lot more frequently now with what you've been doing lately. You seem to be able to find ways to make repairs at minimum cost, but your level of skill in many different areas lets you do that. I think you could almost repair a car for the cost of the paint, using your home-made repair tools. This was really interesting how you managed to get the chip reprogrammed. Certainly an "off the beaten track" method, but it worked really well. Hope you are safe from this COVID-19 over there. Not too bad here in Queensland Australia, but Victoria and New South Wales are not doing so well. Looking forward to your next video, whatever it might be, as your videos are always interesting. All the best from Australia.
Now this is DIY. Thanks for the detailed process.
You’re welcome 😊 Glad you liked it !!
Отличная работа! Молодец, что разобрался в вопросе и поделился информацией. Огромное спасибо. Сам сейчас изучаю вопрос перепрошивки (перезаписи) дампа для своего форда, после инцидента с сработавшей подушкой
Если честно, то скажу что это занятие немного геморное. Если решил заняться этой темой чтобы один раз почистить SRS ошибку на своем авто, на мой взгляд надо много приложить труда и времени, да ещё и потратиться если нету программатора с разного рода переходниками для чипов. Легче найти какого-то специалиста по месту который может всё это быстро и недорого сделать.
@@fix206 Согласен. Нашел сегодня профильного специалиста, который поможет за разумную сумму порядка 50 USD. Не буду сам экспериментировать, время дороже выйдет и плюс есть риск что-то повредить и потом еще сложнее исправлять будет.
Придерживаюсь этого же мнения. Даже мне с программатором и кое какими знаниями легче заплатить парнишке который занимается этим делом профессионально, 5 минут работы за $50 и все готово... А иначе потратил пол дня а то и день ковыряться в интернете выискивая правильную программу и как ты сказал, есть шанс накосячить и ещё спалить свой модуль и вот здесь уже начинается попадос на бабки... Сам то откуда?

Понятно, просто ради интереса решил сравнить цены, Россия и Америка все сходится на 100%
Damn bro , that was amazing . How do you not have a million subscribers already . Best DIY channel on the tube by far !
That's one hell of a complement 😌 it sure would be nice to have a million subscribers, maybe CZcams doesn't promote my channel as much because I don't post very often, but I'm sure going to try to get some more material posted without taking long breaks in between 👍👍
Thank you for showing us the prosses. I love your videos and you are my rolemodel. I do similar work, but I am still a biginner and STILL LEARNING so much. I live in Ellensburg WA, which is about 2 hours away from you. I stumbled accros your chanel when I was searching on how to make a dent puller. I am just going to fowellow your prossess. I hope to meet you one day and keep foing an amazing job in teaching people like me.
You are so welcome my friend... I'm glad you find my videos helpful. That's basically what I sat out to do when I first started my channel, I've been doing this for a long time and learned a lot along the way, figured I would share my knowledge that would help some folks out there, I'm glad it's working :-)
This is not a reprogram an airbag video. This is a data crash reset video. I have recently replaced a set unit on a Mercedes Sprinter. I replaced the main ECU, the instrument cluster, the ignition lock that came with its key and also the airbag module. Unfortunately the airbag module was faulty as it had some corrosion. Now I have to reprogram the original airbag module to the new ECU unit. I looked for any videos but there are none. No matter what, I will figure it out at the end. Great video by the way. Thanks for sharing!!!
Thanks man! Good luck with your project, hope you nail it 👍
Спасибо большое что поделился информацией! Очень помог! Только приехал в Америку, сам автоэлектрик хочу и здесь заниматься тем же, ищу информацию на тему перепрошивки блоков подушек безопасности.
Был рад помочь 👍
Wow. Now we know how to reset those modules 🔥🔥🔥💪💪💪
Yes indeed!
You sir just earned yourself a subscriber for life with this video. Good stuff
Awesome, thank you and welcome aboard !
Thank you for this Amazing video. It was the best 24min in explaining the steps and reasons pertaining to the SRS module, system and reset. I do have an issue. I recently swapped out “similar” seats in my 17’ Honda FIT. I forgot to remove the battery before swapping (I know my mistake). I replugged the SRS connections, but now the SRS light stays on.
Do you think I can scan and remove the error? Or do you think the module needs to be reprogrammed?
Thank you so much again for taking your time on documenting these steps on your video! Kudos to your friends skill and craftsmanship in leather repair! 👍
Hello! , I 'm new. I just found your page.
I thank you. You have a great and easy way of explaining everything. Keep it up.
Your doing fine !!
Awesome, thank you! And welcome aboard !
@@fix206 You're Welcome
awesome video, my question is you didn't show us how to fix the seat belts, because one crash happens the belts will also be deployed and you have to fix them in order to have the airbag light off. thank you for the great vedio
I normally don't repair the seatbelts, most of the time it's easier to just buy a replacement belt, because the repair would require some physical replacement parts to be installed on a "deployed" belt. But resetting the module only requires the reprogramming.
Muy bien Bro saludos desde Honduras 🇭🇳👍excelente video 👌
Mucho Gracias Marco !!!
Хорошая работа друг👍
Благодарю!!
There are 10 services here in the USA that you send your module in and for around $49, and they reset your air bag control module. Some even reset the seat belt for an additional $149.
There are services out there for most things, but I wanted to show what it takes to do it yourself, same thing is you can buy just about anything yet there are countless DIY videos of people making things from scratch... same idea
@@fix206 just wanted people to know, that aren’t as highly knowledgeable as yourself, those people can have options. I’m a techie and enjoy watching techno wizard videos! 👍
Oh for sure I get it... 👍👍👍
Brother, you are awesome. May I know where are you from, location? I have the same issue but with a 2010 honda crv. But my air bag didn't deployed, but the seat belt just got stuck, so I replaced with a used good one. Now that airbag sign still showing. My mechanic told me I have to buy a new one from dealership or flash it . I am on a budget so I am looking for someone know this type of work. You seem like an expert in this field, that's why I ask you. Please let me know if you can . Thank you for your time and consideration.
great job, If I need to program module for people, do I need to be certified and where do I get the certification. this is in case the airbag that I program wouldn't deploy or something happened, and I have to be liable for it! Thank you.
Real master and real thank you brother.
You are very welcome! I appreciate that!
I have a 2006 dodge Dakota the airbag light is on. I believe someone changed the airbag control module from another truck because when I read SRS codes it says vin mismatch. How could I get the vin changed?
Hi, i got a question, where did you hook up the chip after soldered to the adapter to install it on the "GQ 4x4"?
Can You help me with my Lancia Ypsilon airbag unit, erasing the crash data?
I should of mentioned earlier, You do great work and are a great teacher, your explanations were clear and to the point, Thanks for sharing Bro. 👍
Many years ago, I used to chip the Xbox and Playstations. Boy those were the days. I guess this is something like it, Just the programing steps are like the Direct TV Satellite cards ;o)
Hey man I appreciate the comment ! Years ago I used to rock FTA satellite tv and and hack surfboard modems, also rechip Honda ECUs... Fun memories of the days past...
You have any new links for chip adapters?
what you did is just outstanding :)
Thank you... I appreciate the comment !!
How did you come up with the values needed to make the seat airbag to trick the system for testing, great video, learning is a great thing and most of us aren't as smart as others, there goes the equality argument, lol, but be would be great to see a video on how to test and figure value for making resistors, etc, God bless
Sorry for a late reply, but the way to trick the system would be to acquire a good airbag that has not been deployed and then measure the resistance of the airbag with a multimeter through the pins on the back side of the airbags assembly. Once you know the resistance value then you can get a resistor with a matching value, wire the resistor into the place of the airbag and the SRS module will think that the airbus is in
Thank you very much for sharing very good information
My pleasure... more vids on the way
Great video, thank you very much. Have you ever tried solder paste? It revolutionized my smt board construction. Thanks again for the great video!
I have not used the solder paste, don't think it would be too beneficial for scenarios such as this one where I only have a one component to mount on the board
Hello, can you do a video for the chip welding tools and process?
How can you test if the airbags system is working correctly after this process?
I'll do more videos on that topic later on... Normally once the module is re-programmed and installed back in the vehicle, if the airbag light turns off then you know that everything is good !!
Great job sharing info.. for the diyers here on youtube.
Glad it was helpful!
Wow neva seen such an explicit video.
Feel like im a pro now after watching ur video tho i neva touch any one of these lol
Do you have other links for the software coz dis one doesn’t post to my country?
I'm glad you found my video informative. Unfortunately I don't have a link for the software since my software came on a disk along with the programmer
Thanks for sharing such valuable info.
Is there a way to use a connector or harness to download the crash data and reprogram the chip instead of removing it from the module?
Sure, you can program in circuit meaning without having to pull the chip off the board. But you are going to have to get creative because it's usually a pain in the butt especially when you're working on tiny EPROMs
VERY GOOD VIDEO AND JOB YOU ARE DOING
Thank you very much!!
Wow Intersting... Good job bro..
Thanks for the visit!
Great Video as usual !!!
Thanks again!
nice work, how much cost repairing the airbag? can you estimate
I don't really understand your question
I sent a Air bag module to MYAirbags in Georgia,And still have Air bag light on the dash,$75 wasted money.I sent it to them in a ESD/CCD anti-static bag and returned it without the module in the ESD bag.It not a hermeticly sealed shielded box,There are passages(Gaps) that static charges could enter the circuit board.They responded that I must have a loose connection somewhere.Both air bags were replaced.And crash sensors are not shorted or damaged.Scanned with top of the line OBD Innova 5610.Any good words,Thanks in advance.
Hard to tell for sure without being able to get my hands on your vehicle, could be the matter of a bad connection somewhere, have you replaced locked up seatbelts and made sure that the replacement airbags were plugged in all the way?
gran video , saludos desde CHILE
Saludos Liliana !! Viva Chile !!
The stitching for the seat airbag needs to be done in a scpecific way in order to rip in the exact way the manufacturer intended it to. How sure are you that you are stitching it the correct way and that the airbag will deploy in the same manner as oem? From my understanding it is safer to have no airbag in the chair if a replacement kit is not available.
I'm pretty sure it was done right, this guy's been doing it for about 20 years or so, I'm sure that if there were issues over that period of time then he would have corrected his technique and materials being used.
Awesome video. What was the value and color code of the resistor you use for the test?
Well done on the detailed information.
Thank you Jan!
Love this video! I have a question I have a 2019 Ford ecosport and both front knee airbags deployed. I sent the module and seatbelts to get replaced.I bought the airbags from a junkyard and installed everything back. The airbag light is still on and my innova 5410 can’t even connect to the car. The fordpass app gave an alert that the RCM has detected a fault with the driver knee airbag circuit. Is there anything that I could do to clear this? Thanks please let me know
Could be different things, you may have a bad connection in the plug that comes off of a wiring harness where it goes into your knee airbag, so your app cannot see that airbag as being connected. It's hard to tell what it is without actually getting in there and doing some testing ...
Man that was awesome Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it !!! Thanks for watching !!
Very cool
Thank you Orlando !!
great job, thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Hello! Great video! Question. Does the srs light come off automatically after srs module is reseted or depends on the cars?
Yes, automatically
Спасибо!
Is it possible to just replace the whole module with a new or refurbished one.
Yes it is... just make sure that the part number matches and you're good to go
Do you know what kind of thread was used to sew the seat back up? Thanks for the videos!!
I really don't know, my upholstery guy I'm sure uses the right stuff for the repairs
Dud that was awesome! Thanks alottttt!

Thank you DJ !!
Thanks a lot for the vid and info! The link to the programmer on Amazon isn’t working. Can you please tell me what it’s called or update the link? Thanks.
Let me update the link real quick...
Just updated the programmer link... Thanks for heads up !!
@Fix206 thanks for sharing all this amazing work! Down to the chip level, this is BOSS.. Quick question, if someone sent the SRS module off to be reprogrammed instead, you cannot drive the car while the module is out of the car?
Thanks man and yes your car will drive just fine with the SRS module out of the vehicle ..
Would the airbag activate if the srs is not present
Airbag module is a thing that figures out which airbag goes off in case of an accident, so if the module is pulled out of the vehicle then there's no way that airbags would go off no matter how hard the vehicle is hit in an accident
@@fix206 Thank you, miss your content!
Great video one question.My side curtain air bag deployed in an accident and I have a srs light what if I didn't want to replace the side curtain airbag, and just clear the crash data from the module would the srs light go away or do I need to replace the side curtain airbag ? 07 acura tl the code I have is a f4-11 that's the only fault code
After the module gets refreshed and installed in the vehicle, it's going to make sure that all of the airbags are plugged in, deployed airbag will act the same as unplugged airbag so if module will not see one of the bags it will display an SRS light and will generate a foult code.
@@fix206 so in other words the airbag needs to be replaced regardless ? Otherwise it will throw the srs fault code again
That's correct 👍
When using web octopus and clearing your crash. Does it overwrite your VIN number or do you need to somehow put it in
I haven't used web octopus. But I'm pretty sure that in any case the vin does not get overwritten
Great info. Thanks 👍
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks Thanks Thanks
Hi there. How do you get the correct value of the resistor? Thank you so much for your videos.
Measure the resistance of the existing airbag and then find a resistor with the same resistance value as the airbag...
@@fix206 thank you so much.
Great video! Are you located in Kent, WA?
I am more in Auburn
That was way more detail than I was expecting for the air bag set up. I have that light on in my Honda too but like to say it is just telling me the air bags are still there.
One more thing. Does your upholstery guy do boat tops and seats. Asking for my self.
I can reach out to him and find out about the boat upholstery
Question. What can be the cause if the module has been reset, no codes exist but the srs light is still solid on?
If there are no SRS codes but the SRS light is still on then it's hard to say what the issue is without being able to physically check out the vehicle
Очень полезная инфа ! Спасибо
Спасибо, Макс !! Я реально долго копался в интернете и ютубе что по максимуму собрать такого рода информацию. Создается впечатление что это как будто какой-то большой секрет и никто не хочет делиться информацией :-)
@@fix206 полусекрет, когда информация становится доступной - падает её цена и цена оборудования - цена услуги.
Да, ты прав!
Now days it can be done in two days for 35 dollars at many sites on E Bay just ship your ecu to them.
That is true, but some people out there would rather do it themselves and others might just be curious about the process...
Great
Thank you!
hello i have a 2011 chevy silverado that was in an accident and the driver air bag deployed and the driver and passenger seat belts locked and i already have the driver air bag and the seat belts and the clockspring all were from a used truck but they are good and the srs module is plastic it is the original and the impact sensors are not destroyed, if I change the air bag, the clockspring and the seat belts yes after installing the parts I can reset the srs module with an obd2 scanner??
No you can not reset the SRS module with OBD2 scanner.. Your SRS module would have to be removed from the vehicle, taken apart, the chip within the module would have to get reprogrammed... that's the only way
@@fix206 ok if i get to program the srs module later i can put the air bag, the impact sensors, the seat belts and the clockspring would the truck work?
You don't need to replace impact sensors unless they were physically damaged in an accident. Locked up seatbelts would have to be replaced, I have never had to replace a clock spring. Sometimes if the plugs melt to the blown airbag, you can just get them replaced, it's much cheaper and easier to do than having to replace the entire clock spring
Did you replace the side crash sensors?
No need to replace the crash sensors unless they have been physically damaged
I have a general question. I have a 2020 Accord that I just got and got into an accident and airbags deployed. The car had k-tuner flashed into the ECU. When the body shop replaced the airbags they had to reset the modules or program the ecu to accept new modules. Well when I picked up the car today, the and the ktuner module isn't finding the ktuner maps in the ecu. Does reprograming the ecu reflash it back to factory and wipe out the ktuner maps, bringing the ecu back to factory?
I have no idea, your best bet would be to reach out to the place that reset your SRS module and ask him what all that they did, and go from there
@@fix206 D .... Do you charge to reset the air bag mod?
Can you do DEF delete? Tuning?
That is something I never got into...
Thanks br
Great video. Thanks for this. I just replaced the airbag and seat belt on my Mazda 3 and will be reinstalled both seat belt and seat. If I leave the Airbag light on in the dashboard, will there be any issues? Thanks and subd to your channel.
Once you replace all of the blown airbags and effected seatbelts, you also need to get your SRS module either replaced or reprogrammed. After all of the new components are installed then your airbag light should automatically turn off
@@fix206 will there be any issues if I dont replace or reprogram the module and drive the car even the airbag light is on after replacing the airbag?
If you don't reprogram the module, your SRS system will not be armed. So if you get into an accident none of the airbags will go off
Hi very good video, can i ask , if the air bags went off , do you have to replace any of the crash sensors?. many thanks.
Generally crash sensors are fine and don't need to be replaced unless they have been physically damaged and are broken
Many thanks,
@@richardowen3688 👍👍👍
Do I has to replace the impact sensor two, If they’re no damage?
You don't have to replace the impact sensors unless they were physically damaged
10/10. great info.
have you heard or the software that rewrites the SRS module via the ObD2/Canbus Port?
Also, whats a good going rate to fix the seat?
Glad you enjoyed it! Not sure what software to use to program through Canbus port ... And my understanding is, you can only reprogram the SRS modules through OBD2 port just on sertain vehicles but not all. As far as getting seats sewn up I generally pay right around $100 per seat, but it may be more in your area because the guy that I go through, I've known for a while and I think he's giving me a better deal than most other people would get.
Hi, would it have been easier to just fit a 2nd hand module?
Sure it would, but by the same token it would be easier to just buy another car and not bother with fixing the one that this module came out of. On my channel I try to be as thorough as possible to show and explain every single step of the car repair process without leaving anything out including the airbag system reset procedure.
Hello, is there no other way to clear crash data? Maybe with a scanner?
Unfortunately this is the only way... Scanners can't clear hard codes such as crash data

thanks man!!!
Totaling a car for Supplemental Protection from Seat belts which is the real life saver is simply Ridiculous and a ripoff to us consumers, It should of been affordable not unaffordable and costly. Airbags are the cause of Millions of cars being totaled out because of accident damage on the car and airbag replacements, that sometimes cost more then the front end damage of the car :o/
Congress needs to rethink Airbag laws as some states Like NY Don't even allow cars to be repaired with used airbags even if they were never deployed, which is just another scam and a Vendetta against Mafias Big Air bag Scams back in the early 80's . In the end they ripped us consumers off.
Thanks for the video, but I think I would send my module out to get programed :o/
What is the software that I need in order to do the Forced reset for the Airbag Module?
The software came on a disk together with a programmer.
Sir, how do you insert that software into the computer and how do you buy the piece that contains the memory?,I am from sri lanka
Thank
The software that I was using for programming came with a programmer on a disk. I just had to install it on my computer. Not sure about your question on buying the piece that contains the memory...
What did you use to unscrew those 4 screws.What type of screws are they?
Different modules have different screws, some have just the Phillips head screws, others are torx. Some modules are sealed and you literally have to cut into the housing with a cut off wheel just to gain access to the board
@@fix206 I ordered a set of tools as I was told it's temper proof star key to unscrew mercedes w204 c class SRS module but non could help.
Hi there; I saw a carprog1 cd right next to the programmer did you get that one also ?
That was a clone that I bought few years ago, it was a total junk that was basically useless...
@@fix206 Ok Spasibo, so which programmer did you use to fix it :)

How do you program seal srs modules... does any know how to program sealed srs from gm trucks 2011
I have never done a sealed GM module, but I do know what you're talking about. I've heard people will cut into a top lid to gain access to the chip on the board.
Is there a reader but you can use to plug into your your SRS module for GM or Chrysler cars that you can buy and read the eeprom directly from the connector
Have you ever done seat belts too?
I normally just replace blown seatbelts
What type of resistance you used for the test??
I believe the resistance in the airbags/seatbelts is somewhere right around 2.6 ohms... I had some resistors sitting around in my toolbox that are of the correct value, so I do use them from time to time for testing
@@fix206 but if the codes do not reset with the reader, what is the resistor good for? I ask because I am doing the same repair as you did and I'm not sure what all is the problem with srs system and I need to know if I have srs module reset and plug it back in and there is still a problem with an inflator, do I have to have srs module reset once again?
No offense but paying 15-20 dollars for the upload of the file makes me rather pay 40-50 to send the module in to safety restore or something,Still great video thought, Isthere no other way to clear the crash data without paying?
I totally see your point, I've seen some of these files cell for $5-$10, others go for $15-$20, on top of that not everybody has an EEPROM programmer (so that would be another expense) in my opinion I feel like this subject is shrouded in some sort of a mystery where there's not a whole lot of information out there on how to reset these modules. So I wanted to make a video that will explain the process start to finish to take a bit of a mystery out of the subject :)
Am in jamaica how can I reach out to you
You can just me here whatever question you may have...
ok, now I think paying $50 is a huge bargain
And I agree with you 100%, this video was done to pull the veil back on the process, just to show folks what goes into getting it done. There is a shop about five minutes away from where I live that I take my modules to where the guy gets it done in just a couple of minutes for $50. I don't mind spending the money if it frees up the rest of my day so I can do other stuff
Does this work on all makes and model modules?
It does for most part, I'm sure there's going to be variation of different chips that are being used with a different makes and models of vehicles

I'm waiting for the follow up video, the one that states you are in litigation because you modified a safety item. As we all know it clearly states in the work shop manual to replace the restraints control module when this fault is present, it dose not say to use a Chinese tool to modify the eeprom of said module. So the next time this vehicle is in a collision and safety restraints fail to operate or some attorney who practices law, as an advocate finds out you modified the vehicle safety item ( because yore so cheap you would modify a safety item) and sues you for gross negligence ( failure to take proper care in doing something) I hope you have big cash reserve as negligence law suits have no cost limits in court. I wouldn't do it to save a few dollars of the clients money. To much risk .
I would normally take the module to a guy that would do the exact the same thing, but I thought I would do a video about the process instead since there is not a whole lot of info out there on the topic... And for your info I did not modify the the module in any way, just reset it back to it's original state... Does it really make a difference whether the tool that I used for programming was made in China or someplace else? Majority of the electronic components in these vehicles are made in China, so what is your point? This sort of a service is widely available online and also locally if you know where to look, I don't see anyone being sued left and right as you make it sound...
@@fix206 No worries, just my perspective, I'm the guy dealers have show up as a expert witness, this could go very wrong (my opinion) My point is follow the instructions in the shop manual
On an SRS module, dealership wouldn't want to fix something like that, because they would make much more money selling you a brand new module, that's why there's not even a procedure for something like this in their shop manual. Now if there was a recall on this module due to some sort of a programming error they would for sure get it reprogrammed to save car manufacturer money in the end, because customer pays nothing for a recall service, but the dealership still has to get paid, that's why auto manufacturer figures out the cheapest way to go about it so they don't put themselves in a really deep financial hole. I repair GM clusters, because they have different types of problems that are easily correctable if you know what you're doing, dealership doesn't have any instructions on fixing these clusters, they will just sell you a brand new cluster for about $1000...
