Repair SRS Module

Posted by Artem Martynyuk on

All vehicles that were manufactured after 1996 for the U.S. market contain the SRS. It is the main system in the vehicle that keeps the driver as well as its passengers safe in the event of an accident. The airbag module is the brains which is why it is sometimes referred to as the airbag brains. The SRS airbag module is also known as the  Airbag Electronic Crash Unit, ECU, Supplemental Restraint System, SRS, SRS control unit, or the derm. The module determines what needs to occur in order to keep the individuals safe in an accident. For example, in a minor event such as the driver slamming on the brakes quickly, the SRS Module determines that the seat belts need to lock in order to keep the driver firmly in their seat. However, the airbags do not need to be deployed. In a major accident like a collision, the SRS airbag module may determine that locking the seat belts is not enough, deploying the airbags in order to help protect the individual(s).

Once the airbags have been deployed, an airbag code will come up. In this case you will need to reset or repair SRS Module. Most dealers will tell you that you need a new module; however, that is just not the case. Buying a new module instead of simply using your vehicle's existing one can cost you hundreds. Getting a used airbag module is cheaper than getting a new one but the module will still need to be re-programmed. This is because, when you install a different module inside your vehicle, used or new, you will need to program it to your VIN which requires a dealer in order to happen. Replacing a SRS airbag module can be a lengthy and difficult process.
