Once we return your module to you, you must follow these critically important steps:
- The repaired module MUST GO BACK INTO THE SAME VEHICLE FROM WHICH IT WAS TAKEN.
- Airbag modules are matched to a specific car, like an address.
- Each airbag module is matched with all or part of the vehicle’s VIN. Unmatched modules will usually cause the airbag light to illuminate.
- Complete all other repairs first.
- Install ALL airbag SRS components (except the module itself) and reconnect them properly. SRS installation components include:
- Airbags, all seat belts, the clock spring, impact sensors, and fuses.
- Disconnect your vehicle’s battery prior to reconnecting your module.
- IMPORTANT: Failure to follow this step usually results in permanent damage to the airbag module.
- Once the battery is disconnected, reinstall your module and securely tighten the bolts.
- “Securely” is defined here as completely fastened, i.e. bolts are tightened with the use of proper tools — wrench, ratchet wrench, or torque wrench
- “Finger-tight” is NOT good enough.
- IMPORTANT: Failure to tighten the SRS module securely will result in faults and will likely cause the airbag light to turn on.
- Connect the wiring harness plugs to the airbag module and reconnect the battery.
If you are still getting an airbag light on, please scan the vehicle to see what DTC Codes you are receiving. There could be a number of reasons why that light is still on. For example, and airbag needs to be replaced, impact sensor, seatbelt, etc. Once the issue is corrected, the light will go out.
I hope this information help.
