Chevrolet Airbag Module Reset Service

If the air bag light is on in your Chevrolet after a crash, airbag deployment, battery event, or electrical fault, the problem is often crash data that has been stored inside the SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) control unit. Once this data is recorded, the module may be “locked” and normal scan tools cannot clear it. Our Chevrolet airbag module reset service clears this crash data at the memory level so you can safely reuse your original module without buying a new one.

This is a reset & return service. You mail us your original Chevrolet airbag control module (sometimes called SDM, SIR, or RCM). We perform a professional SRS module reset, erase crash codes, and send the same unit back ready for plug-and-play installation in the same vehicle. No dealer programming is usually required because your VIN and configuration stay matched to the car or truck.

When You Need a Chevrolet Airbag Module Reset

This service is ideal if you are dealing with any of the following:

The airbag light stays on after a collision repair or minor accident
Scan tools show “crash data stored” or “event data recorded”
The dealer recommends replacing the air bag module because it is “locked”
You searched for “how to reset air bag module” or “SRS module reset near me” and want a mail-in option
You installed used airbags or seatbelts but the light still will not clear

As long as your Chevrolet airbag control module is not physically burned, flooded, or heavily corroded, a reset is usually possible. All airbags, pretensioners, and related SRS components must be repaired or replaced separately before reinstalling the reset module.

Chevrolet Airbag Module Part Numbers We See Often

We work with a wide range of GM and ACDelco SDM units including, but not limited to:

1358-xxxx and 1359-xxxx series modules
1523-xxxx, 2093-xxxx and 2589-xxxx families
0939-xxxx legacy SIR / SDM units
Modules labeled “SDM,” “Sensing & Diagnostic Module,” “Airbag Control Module,” “Airbag ECU,” or “SIR / SRS Control Unit”

As long as your module is a Chevrolet airbag / SRS control unit and is not physically destroyed by fire, flood or severe impact, we can usually perform an airbag module repair (reset) and return it to service.

Airbag Codes We Clear

During the air bag module reset process we erase stored crash data and internal fault codes commonly associated with locked Chevrolet modules, such as:

B107E – airbag module related
B207F – SRS unit fault
B1015 – faulty module memory
B1139 – internal SRS error
B1193 – airbag module related
B1206 – RCM / airbag module fault
B1342 – SRS module failure
B1620, B1649, B1650 – crash detected / crash data stored
DF194 “After Accident” and similar event-recorded messages

After reset, the module memory is returned to a “factory clear” state. Any warning that remains after installation will typically point to an external component (sensor, seatbelt, clockspring, connector, etc.), not the module itself.

How the Mail-In Reset Process Works

Place your order on this page.
Remove the SRS module from your Chevrolet. It is usually mounted on the center tunnel, under the console, or beneath the front seats. Always disconnect the battery and wait several minutes before working on SRS components.
Pack the module securely in a padded box, protecting the case and connectors.
Ship it to Module Repair Lab using a trackable method.
We perform the SRS module reset, clear crash data and locked codes, and verify communication.
We ship it back within approximately 2–3 business days from the time it arrives at our shop.
Reinstall the module and scan the vehicle to confirm the airbag light stays off, assuming all SRS components are in proper working order.

Include a copy of your order confirmation, your contact information, and the return shipping address inside the box. We recommend insured and trackable shipping to protect your module in transit.

Turnaround Time & 1-Year Warranty

Most Chevrolet airbag modules are processed within 2–3 business days after they arrive at our facility. This service includes a 1-year limited warranty on the reset procedure. If crash data or internal module memory faults reappear due to the module itself within that period, contact us so we can evaluate the unit.

The warranty does not cover physical damage, corrosion, water intrusion, new accidents, or external SRS faults caused by wiring, sensors, airbags, or seatbelts.

Airbag Module Reset for Other Makes

We reset SRS airbag control modules and remove crash data for most major brands. Find your vehicle:
