Infiniti Airbag Module Reset Service (SRS Control Module Crash Data Reset)
If your Infiniti’s airbag light is on after a collision, or your diagnostic scanner shows “crash data stored,” “module locked,” “event data recorded,” or persistent B-codes that won’t clear, your SRS airbag control module has entered a protective lockout state. Infiniti and Nissan vehicles store impact and deployment information in non-volatile memory, and once this occurs the module cannot reset through standard diagnostic tools. Our service clears these locked data structures at the memory level so you can safely reuse your original airbag control unit.
Infiniti SRS modules are often manufactured by Hitachi, Bosch, Autoliv, TRW, or Continental, depending on the model year. These modules contain a combination of EEPROM and MCU-based storage where crash event logs, seatbelt pretensioner activation data, and impact algorithm history are recorded. When this memory becomes latched, the system will keep the airbag warning lamp illuminated and disable airbag deployment until the module is reset or replaced. Our reset process restores the module’s functionality without altering your VIN or vehicle coding.

Symptoms This Reset Service Fixes
If your Infiniti has experienced a collision, even a minor one, the following symptoms may occur:
- Airbag light stays illuminated
- “Crash data stored” or “event data recorded”
- Seatbelt pretensioner fault codes that will not clear
- Internal module fault / control unit lockout (common after deployment)
- Hard B-codes such as B1414, B1421, B1018, B1145, etc.
- Airbag or side impact sensor DTCs that persist after physical repairs
- Failed attempts to clear codes using an OBD2 or professional scanner
Infiniti modules use strict fail-safe logic—any stored deployment or impact log disables the SRS system. Clearing this data is required to restore normal operation.
Technical Overview of Infiniti Crash Data Storage
Infiniti SRS modules typically use an MCU-based architecture (Renesas, NEC, Infineon, or SPC56xx family) combined with EEPROM or serial flash memory such as 95160, 95320, or 95640. Crash data is stored in several key memory areas:
-
Event Data Memory (impact severity, timing, algorithm triggers)
- Pretensioner activation data
- Airbag deployment history
- System lockout flags
- Algorithm enable/disable status
Clearing these values requires specialized tools that communicate directly with the MCU or EEPROM to rewrite only the crash-specific structures. Your original VIN, sensor calibration, and configuration remain untouched using our method.
What Our Infiniti SRS Reset Service Includes
- Memory-level removal of crash event data
- Reset of locked and latched deployment logs
- Removal of internal system lockout states
- Preservation of factory VIN and coding
- No reprogramming needed after reinstallation
- Thorough electronic testing before return
- 1-year warranty
No Programming or Dealer Coding Required
Because you are reusing your original Infiniti SRS control module, all immobilizer data, VIN data, configuration details, and variant coding remain intact. When you reinstall the reset module, the vehicle recognizes it instantly with no additional steps.
Turnaround Time
The typical processing time for Infiniti SRS modules is 2–3 business days. This allows us to perform a full diagnostic evaluation, reset the module, verify memory integrity, and test communication.

Important Notes Before Reinstallation
- The reset module will only work properly if all deployed airbags, pretensioners, and damaged wiring have been repaired or replaced.
- This service does not repair physical damage or corrosion inside the module.
- This is your original module reset—not a replacement or exchange unit.
