My car was in an accident, I believe we fixed the issues, question, we always need to replace the module? And second, if the answer is yes, why the Toyota dealer didn’t find the problem with the module? Thanks

Yes, when the vehicle is in an accident it will have crash history, also known as crash data. The airbag control module needs to be replaced or crash history needs to be reset to use the same airbag control module. For Toyota vehicles, it is a little tricky because not always it will show crash codes. For these vehicles, you will have NO fault codes for srs airbag, but the airbag light will still be on. That is how you will know the airbag module has crash codes. For other vehicles like GM, Ford, BMW you will actually have a DTC code that says crash history data is full. For rebuilders that deal with Toyota, and after you do a few rebuilds you will quickly figure out that if your vehicle was in an accident and you have no codes and the light still stays on, then the airbag control module needs to be reset.
