SRS · Crash Data · All Makes · South Wales
Airbag warning light on after a collision? The SRS control module has stored crash data that standard diagnostic tools cannot clear. We remove crash data, reset the airbag module and restore your SRS system to full operation — for all makes and models across South Wales.
Even if your airbags didn’t deploy, a hard impact or electrical spike can trigger the module to lock. We clear it safely and quickly.
Why the Light Stays On
After a collision, the SRS module stores the crash event in a protected memory area. This is a deliberate safety mechanism — the module locks itself to prevent the airbags from redeploying without proper inspection and reset.
Crash data is written to a protected area of the module’s EEPROM chip. Standard OBD tools and even most professional dealer-level scanners cannot access or overwrite this partition — specialist programming equipment is required.
Even after fitting new airbags and new seat belt pretensioners, the airbag warning light will remain on. The module itself must be reset — the new parts won’t clear the stored crash data on their own.
Because they lack the specialist equipment to reset the module, dealers frequently quote for a brand-new SRS unit — which can cost £200–£800+ on top of the airbag and belt replacements already carried out.
Using specialist EEPROM programming equipment, we read the module, remove the crash data, verify the unit is fault-free and refit it — restoring the full SRS system at a fraction of the cost of replacement.
What We Cover
A full SRS restore after a collision involves more than just the airbag module. We cover the complete system so your vehicle passes inspection and the airbag light goes out permanently.
The main airbag control module stores the crash event data. We access the EEPROM, remove all crash records, clear all fault codes and verify the module is functioning correctly. Works for driver, passenger, side and curtain airbag systems.
Seat belt pretensioners fire in a collision to lock the belt. Once fired they must be replaced or reset. We reset pretensioner units where possible, or advise on replacement — ensuring the SRS system accepts the restraint circuit as complete.
The clock spring connects the steering wheel airbag to the SRS system. Damaged or replaced clock springs must be coded to the module. We program and verify the clock spring as part of a full SRS reset.
Not all SRS faults are crash-related. Faulty sensors, wiring issues and module errors can all trigger the airbag light. We carry out full SRS diagnostic scans and address all fault codes — not just the crash data.

How It Works
Most airbag module resets are completed the same day. We work at our Ammanford workshop or can visit your location or bodyshop across South Wales.
Call, WhatsApp or use the form below. Tell us your vehicle make, model and year, and whether airbags deployed. We’ll confirm we can help and arrange the service.
The SRS module is removed from the vehicle — usually located under the centre console, dashboard or seats. In many cases we can remove it at your location.
We connect the module to our specialist EEPROM programming equipment, access the protected memory, remove all crash records and clear all related fault codes.
The reset module is verified fault-free before refitting. Once back in the vehicle we confirm the airbag warning light has cleared and the SRS system shows no faults.
FAQ
Even after replacing airbags and seat belts, the SRS module stores the crash event in protected memory and keeps the light on. The module itself must be reset using specialist EEPROM equipment — replacing parts alone will not clear it.
No — standard OBD tools and most professional diagnostic platforms cannot access the protected EEPROM partition where crash data is stored. Specialist programming equipment is required to read and rewrite the module.
In most cases no — the module hardware is typically undamaged. Only the software record prevents it from operating. A specialist reset restores the original module, saving the cost of a replacement unit which can be £200–£800+.
The SRS module can record a crash event from severe deceleration, a hard impact, a seat belt pretensioner firing or even an electrical spike — without the airbags deploying. The fix is exactly the same: a specialist crash data reset.
Yes — pretensioners that have fired must be reset or replaced before the SRS system will clear. We reset pretensioner units where possible and advise on replacement where needed, ensuring the full restraint circuit is complete.
Yes — we regularly work with bodyshops and garages across South Wales to complete airbag resets on vehicles mid-repair. Contact us and we’ll arrange a visit to your location.
