Can I clear the airbag codes myself with my handheld scanner?
MyAirbags clears all soft codes and hard codes that are stored after the vehicle was in an accident.
Your handheld scanner can't do it all.
There are two types of codes:
- Soft Codes
- Soft Codes
Yes, most scanners can clear soft codes after the problem is solved. These are codes that indicate a fault with an SRS system part/component such as
- driver airbag codes
- seat belt codes
- impact sensor codes
Hard Codes
No, scanners cannot clear these codes. These codes are stored after a vehicle accident and are also known as crash data. Also, these codes are hardware issue codes.
