Kia Airbag Module Reset Service (SRS Control Module Crash Data Reset)
If your Kia’s airbag light is on and your scanner shows “crash data stored,” “event data recorded,” or SRS hard codes that will not clear, your airbag control module has locked itself for safety. Kia vehicles record detailed collision and deployment information inside the SRS module. Once this memory is latched, the system disables airbag function until the internal crash data is removed at the memory level. Our reset service restores the module to its pre-crash state so it can be safely reused.
Kia SRS modules are typically produced by Mobis, Continental, Bosch, TRW, or Autoliv depending on the model and year. These modules store impact data and deployment information in EEPROM or MCU-protected flash memory. After a collision, the stored crash logs cannot be cleared with a standard scan tool. Dealerships often recommend replacing the module, but replacements are expensive and frequently backordered. Resetting your original module is the most cost-effective and reliable solution.

Symptoms That Indicate You Need This Service
- Airbag light illuminated after collision repair
- “Crash Data Stored” warning
- Event data cannot be cleared with a scanner
- SRS hard codes, including B1346, B1620, B1650, B1113, etc.

Kia SRS modules are designed to disable the airbag system after any major crash event. Unless crash data is removed from memory, the system will remain inactive.
Technical Details About Kia Crash Data Storage
Kia airbag modules store crash information using EEPROM or integrated flash within the MCU. Typical memory layouts include:
- EEPROM devices such as 95160, 95256, 95320
- MCU-protected flash on Renesas, Infineon, or SPC56 microcontrollers
- Serial flash (e.g., 25xx SPI chips)
The following data is commonly saved during a collision:
- Impact severity and direction
- Airbag deployment timing and confirmation
- Pretensioner activation events
- Occupant sensor data during impact
- Algorithm enable/disable state
- Permanent lockout flags
These values must be manually cleared at the memory level using specialized equipment to restore the module’s functional state.
What Our Kia Airbag Module Reset Service Includes
- Crash data removal from EEPROM/flash memory
- Clearing of deployment and pretensioner logs
- Internal SRS lockout reset
- Retention of factory VIN, configuration, and coding
- No programming required after reinstallation
- 1-year warranty
- Full communication and integrity testing
After the reset, your module returns to a clean operational state. When properly reinstalled with repaired airbags and sensors, the airbag light should switch off.
No Dealer Programming Needed
Since you are reusing your original Kia airbag module, all VIN data and configuration settings stay intact. This eliminates the need for dealer visits, coding, or pairing procedures.
Turnaround Time
The module is reset and tested within 2–3 business days of arrival.
