Airbag warning light on?
Reset, clone or repair the SRS control unit

After an accident the SRS control unit stores crash data permanently — even when no airbags deployed. These data cannot be cleared via OBD. We process the control unit directly at chip level.

💥 Clear crash data — fixed price ⚡ 1–2 working days (reset) 📦 Return shipping included 🛡 12-month warranty

What we can do for your SRS control unit

Clear crash data (SRS reset)

Individual

The SRS control unit permanently stores every crash event. Even if no airbags deployed, deceleration data are written — and the unit continues to report a fault. We clear all crash data and fault codes at chip level.

When: Warning light remains on after an accident, even when no airbags deployed

Clone the SRS control unit

Individual

For a physically damaged SRS control unit (water damage, short-circuit, mechanical damage): we read out the original data and transfer them onto an identical replacement SRS unit. The vehicle configuration is preserved.

When: Unit is physically damaged, clearing crash data is not possible

Repair the SRS control unit

Individual

For hardware faults at PCB level (capacitors, solder joints, MOSFETs): direct repair. Common with water damage or ageing components on the board.

When: A specific hardware fault is identifiable, e.g. by visual inspection

All prices on request after a feasibility check. Fixed price quoted before the order is placed. No surprises.

Why an OBD scan tool cannot permanently clear the airbag light

Standard OBD fault clearing

  • Only clears the active fault memory
  • Crash data remain at chip level
  • Airbag light returns after a few minutes or kilometres
  • The unit detects again during self-diagnosis: "crash data present"

Chip-level reset KFZ Dietrich

  • Direct access to the EEPROM/flash memory of the SRS control unit
  • Crash data are permanently removed from memory
  • Airbag warning light stays off permanently after refitting
  • The control unit no longer detects a crash state

How the send-in service works

  1. Inquiry and fault code description

    Send us the vehicle, year of manufacture and the fault pattern (airbag warning light, deployed airbags, fault codes from an OBD readout). We assess which measure is appropriate for your SRS control unit: reset, repair or cloning.

  2. Remove the SRS control unit and ship it

    Remove the SRS control unit (disconnect the plug, undo the screws — in most vehicles located under the passenger seat or in the centre tunnel). Pack it in anti-static film and ship it safely. Shipping label on request.

  3. Clear crash data or clone the unit

    Crash data clearing: all stored accident data are removed from the SRS control unit — the unit is then fully functional again. Cloning: for physically damaged units we transfer the data onto a matching replacement SRS unit.

  4. Function test and documentation

    We verify that the crash data have been completely cleared and that no fault codes remain. You receive a written report documenting the condition before and after the work.

  5. Insured return shipment

    Insured return via DHL Express — return shipping is included. The written report and a 12-month warranty on the reset or cloning service are part of the package.

Your vehicle is not listed? Send us the model and year — we will check feasibility free of charge.

What we do not do

We only clear crash data from SRS control units for vehicles that are undergoing a proper repair after an accident. A cleared SRS control unit does not automatically restore driving safety.

After refitting the reset control unit, all deployed restraint systems (airbags, belt tensioners) must be replaced and a full SRS system inspection must be carried out by a qualified workshop.
