How to RESET AIRBAG light AFTER Accident / Repair SRS after COLLISION / Turn off SRS light

[@sebczajna700]

Best regards from Poland my friend, I just bought Autel MaxiPro 808k. I have once old model DS708. You make greate videos. Autel many times helped me in different diagnostics problem. Best regards, good Job👍

Good one Chief!! Looking forward to the multiple videos you'll make with this car and the scan tool. Congratulations on the car too

Hello bro. I have the same car but was involved in a side crash. I replaced the passenger side doors, side curtain airbag, and passenger seat. The then sent out the SRS unit to clear the crash history but I’m still showing an airbag light. I’m guessing the next step is to scan the system to look for faults? Appreciate your help 🇳🇬

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

Hey. Sorry for the collision. Actually the scan should have preceded the repairs, because it helps flag all the components to replace. The passenger occupant detection module will mostly likely need a reset. But see what the scan result says. Give me a mention when you have the result.

[@piusadamu6197]

Great video. You must be a Nigerian. Great job bro

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

Thanks!

[@gosgraproperties8687]

My boss are you what state are you please

[@JayHydro]

To delete crash data, do I have to still get the srs module out? Or can I do that with a scan tool?

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

On this car and most others, you have to get the module out. They are some crash data tools that can delete crash data via the OBDII port, but last I checked, not all makes are supported.

[@JayHydro]

@@DIYAutoworksNG thanks for reply, also wondering if it’s ok to replace the airbag before clearing the crash data or does that have the possibly of the airbag going off randomly?

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

You should replace all damaged components including airbags before clearing crash data.

[@JayHydro]

@@DIYAutoworksNG my main concern is replacing the airbag and driving it until I get the crash data erased

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

That was exactly what I did. Nothing happened. Having crash data and the airbag on even decreases the chance of airbags deploying.

[@davidbosch9061]

Do you have any experience with a 2005 Honda accord? I am wondering if I replace the airbag and sensor, it will reset itself? Or should I get the scanner tool and scan and see if the SRS module will need replaced and reprogramed??

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

After replacing those parts, the module must be cleared of crash data or replaced for the SRS light to go out and the system work correctly.

[@victoromisore8650]

Do you have any recommendations for a good scan tool that is not as expensive as autel max pro but has the same features as this thanks

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

Budget range?

[@rod1781]

If you have the srs module reset and one of the new air bags are bad will i be able to clear the remaining codes once fixed again

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

You won't be able to clear the codes until crash data is deleted and good airbags are installed. On some cars e.g. Toyota, the ODS will need to be caliberate too.

[@rod1781]

@@DIYAutoworksNG safety restore said they reset mine its on the way back airbags were replaced but with used ones so its possible one might be bad or something was just making sure it wont lock it out again to were they can't be deleted i have a scan tool capable of calibrating the weight sensor but they said i shouldn't have to

Where can I get the new airbags for a 2013 Honda Accord. The same exact airbag went off in my car and I am trying to figure out how to fix everything

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

Depends in where you're based and budget. The dealer will have it but its usually quite pricey. Used OEMs are also good, Ebay and some other sites. Also, the junkyard...

[@thefinessekid7358]

I've never done this repair before but my girlfriend's car (2001 for focus) had steering wheel and passenger dash bag go off. If I buy new bags and install them the chance of them going off is zero correct? I know I have to buy a new airbag diag module but I'm just paranoid of them going off as I've never worked on airbags before.

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

I won't say the chance is zero. Airbags have been known to go off from being triggered by static electricity. Some have had airbags deploy while trying to change the steering wheel car emblem. If you plan to do this yourself, I'd say you invest some good time reading around SRS work, know the do's and don'ts, including specifics for Ford. E.g. Honda and Toyota say you must disconnect and leave the battery disconnected for at least 3 min before working in the vicinity of an airbag. Ford may be different. In the end, it's really easy once you know the things to look out for, but if you're not confident enough maybe you want to have a professional do it? Do you know if your new module will require programming to work? I can't say for Ford. Honda, yes. Toyota, mostly does not.

[@ishaqiliyas8389]

hello are you in nigeria and can you help me reset my corolla 2009 airbag had an accident i have replaced all the components whats left is the hard code reset

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

Hi. I don't reset hard codes yet. Search for @autokay_ on instagram. I've used them once.

[@belloademola6733]

Congratulations to you on the new Accord .. I like your video a lot brief to the points and well explained.. Is the Accord v6 or I4 also what's your take on Honda cvt.

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

Thanks a lot. It's an I4 CVT. I think Honda's CVT have improved. From my research, the earlier glitches in 2013 & 2014 were addressed from the 2015 Accords.

[@kennyplay5982]

Question. I have a 2002 Ford mustang. After 20 mph accident in the front bumper, driver and passenger airbags went off. Only Airbag light on dash, no SRS. After installing airbags back in, how can I turn off Airbags on dash? Thank you

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

Start by scanning the SRS module in the car to see what needs to be replaced. The codes there will help you move forward. If the passengers were wearing seatbelts they need to be replaced or restored, also the crash sensors. I scan will detail the required repairs. I'm not aware that Fords have separate airbag and SRS lights. The airbag light represents the warning light for the SRS as a whole. It will be on even if there a problem with a seat belts.

[@Letsflipingooo98]

Do you know where I can find someone to reset the hard code SRS light? As well as someone who can fix my seat belt that is now stuck after a wreck? Houston TX

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

I don't know any physical shops, but loads of online repair services. safetyrestore.com myairbags.com, and Ebay listings too. The 1st two also fix seatbelts.

[@28282222]

2 questions: 1. What code reader that will work on airbags do you use? reccomens to buy? 2. Have you released your SWS reset video yet? Thanks!

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

Thanks for watching! 1. I use the Autel MP808TS. I left links in the video description. There would be other scanners with SRS access, but this is the one I use. 2. I haven't done the SWS reset video yet! For some reason, after doing the SWS reset off camera and having the crash data cleared, I don't see the option for the reset. That said, I'm on the lookout for a fitting car to demonstrate this.

[@jesusemmanuelcordovameraz7164]

You will have to start by scanning the cars SRS module. That's what will guide your repair apart from the obvious airbag/seatbelt deployments.

[@sherifmahmoud6523]

Congrats on your car, nice video, do you have any idea if one of the airbags is missing, and the crash sensor has been reset, will the other airbags deploy in Cas of an accident, or should all the airbags be fixed in order for the srs system to work?

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

Many thanks! All airbags need to be replaced and crash data cleared. As long as the airbag light is on, no other airbag should deploy.

So do you buy your airbags new? If so, from where? Or do you buy from say a salvage yard or from an online airbag store that sells undeployed bags that were taken from damaged cars?

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

Got mine used at a store that sells used car parts.

[@MH-pc2ky]

I've seen many cars that have been in accidents the airbag deployed and the check engine light or the airbag deployment light has never illuminated

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

Something is not working correctly in those cars. I know the 2014 Toyota Corolla or so had a recall on the SRS and it was exactly for this. The dashboard light maybe dead as well. Trying scanning those cars with an SRS-enabled scanner to see what codes you find.

[@ManoElMacho]

Can you make a video on clearing the srs computer?

Hi. I do have a video where I took out the SRS module, though I had to send it to a service to have it reset. I don't have the tools to clear crash data.

I will be uploading the videos in the next 2 weeks. I have already finished fixing and the light has turned off. I wouldn't replace the clockspring except if other things on the steering wheel are not working e.g. Horn, cruise control buttons etc. It is normal for the passenger seat weight sensor to say not detected as it would need to be calibrated after you replace the airpags and clear crash data from the module.
