In the aftermath of a vehicle collision, the airbag control unit (ACU), also known as the SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) module, stores hard fault codes and crash data. Traditionally, this meant replacing the module—a costly affair that could run several hundred to over a thousand dollars per unit. Enter the software-based solution: .

: While resetting a module is a common practice, it must be done accurately to ensure the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) functions correctly in a future event. Availability
Once reinstalled, the airbag warning light should turn off, provided no other hardware faults (like a blown clock spring or missing airbag) exist. Important Considerations Hardware Required:
v6.4 does not magically reset all modules via OBD2. Most resets require physical access to the PCB and soldering.
