What does a BMW airbag module reset do?
A reset permanently removes stored crash and deployment data from the BMW SRS (airbag) control module, allowing the airbag system to function normally again.
Why is my BMW airbag or SRS light on?
The light usually appears after an accident when crash data is stored inside the airbag control module. It may also appear due to an internal module fault.
Can a scan tool turn off the BMW airbag light?
No. Once crash data is stored, the airbag light cannot be cleared with a scanner. The module must be reset or replaced.
Do I need to send my original BMW module?
Yes. Resetting your original module preserves factory VIN data and avoids dealer coding or additional programming.
Will the airbag light turn off after reinstalling the module?
Yes, provided all other SRS components (airbags, seat belts, sensors, wiring) are functioning correctly.
How long does the BMW airbag module reset take?
Most modules are reset within one business day after arrival and shipped back promptly.
Is coding or programming required after the reset?
In most cases, no. The reset restores the module to factory condition for plug-and-play installation.
What if my BMW was not in an accident?
If the airbag light turned on without an accident, another SRS component may be faulty. We recommend scanning the system before sending the module in.
Is this better than buying a used or new airbag module?
Yes. Resetting avoids VIN mismatch issues, dealer programming, and unnecessary replacement costs.
Is the service covered by a warranty?
Yes. All BMW airbag module reset services include a one-year warranty on the reset work.
