Thanks a lot for the video and services; it made me save tons of money (dealership asking $2000, local shop asking from $250 to $900). It also made the sign go away as soon as I reinstalled the module. Appreciate your work 🙏
Great detailed video!! My 2015 Honda Accord was in a flooding. Water came into the cabin up to the seats, so obviously the module was under water. Airbag light is the only light on. I haven’t ran a diagnostic on it, but will the module go bad if submerged in water?
Yes if you had water/flood damage then airbag control module will be bad for sure. You will need to get a replacement. Get new or used. Make sure to get same part number. The part number will be on top of the module. Used airbag control module can be purchased at car-parts.com. However, if you did not have water damage and vehicle was in an accident, we can reset the module. Visit our website for more info myairbags.com
Pls can you advice me on my ACURA TSX 2010, If i replaced my Airbag module with the module removed from other car without airbag deployment, will the airbag light go away or the module is plug and play. and would my car still needs to be reprogrammed by the dealer. Pls advice me on this.. Thanks
Gabriel, when you choose to go with a replacement module, first you have to make you find a replacement module that has the same exact part as the original. The model/part number on airbag / srs modules for Acura and Honda always begin with these number " 77960 ... " Once you find a good working module with the correct match by part number, THEN you would have to program the replacement module to the car since its not original. You can avoid all this, by using the reset service. Our reset service costs a fraction of new parts and because its original to your car, programming is not needed. This is why our customer prefer the reset service we offer. The service is only needed for after accident modules. If your car was in an accident you need the module replaced / reset along with the deployed seat belts / buckles, you put in your service order here: www.myairbags.com/product-category/repair-return/airbag-module-reset/ Thank you for your comment!
I've got an 2018 honda accord, I had 3 warnings come up, 1 was the batter ( it has been replaced) another ended up being the driver side seat belt buckle sensor ( replaced also) and I still have 1 light remaining on and it's for the Supplemental restraint system??
Do you have the actual DTC code that came up? If your vehicle was in an accident then the airbag control module needs to be reset. Here is more info www.myairbags.com/product/airbag-module-reset-3/
If you get a Seat positioning sensor / or occupant sensor code, that code is stored in OCM / OCSM Occupant Classification System Module. Your Occupant module may be disconnected. Check the plug /wires leading to that sensor. Its located on the front passenger seat on the side, or under the passenger seat, right on the seat itself, (not on the floor). If you replaced the front passenger seat for any reason, go to the old seat, remove the original sensor and install it on the new seat. Finally, if you check the plug / wires and this is not a situation where you replaced the front passenger seat then the occupant sensor may need to be re-calibrated or replaced. Usually the re-calibration does it.
Hello MyAirbags I have a small issues. My 2017 accord has 12K miles and out of nowhere the airbag light came on in the dash but I never wrecked the car or messed with the airbag system. I got a scan tool and it said “front passenger impact sensor not sending a signal”. Where is the sensor located ? I can’t seem to find it. Is it like the seat airbag sensors where by just unplugging and re plug it solves the light on the dash ? Thanks.
Steering airbag sensors is located in the front panel of your radiator support , it has 2 sensors next to the horn when you pop your hood up , you will see it
Anuar, Seat belts do deploy in an accident. Sometimes they seem like they work fine but the actual pretensioner part is deployed. If thats the case, you'll simply get a code letting you know. Once you fix them, the code will clear out. We can help with the module and seat belts. www.myairbags.com
So my SRS module is not communicating with the diagnostic device. The dealership is telling me that they have to do the programming for the new one and it will cost me $800 to replace. Can I replace it myself and program it or are they telling me the truth?
Tyler, If the car was in an accident, we can reset it for you for a fraction of that cost. If it went bad / fried on its own, we may have a replacement for you in our inventory. You would need to search and match by part number only to make sure it will be a good fit for your car.

@@MyAirbags So I drove through some water and the next day my airbag light came on. No accident and Im wondering if I dried off the srs module if it might work. Also the dealership is telling me that the srs system has to be programmed to the vin number of my car or it will deploy the airbag and thats why they need to do it. Is that just a scam statement to get me to use them?
If its water damage, yes it can be true. If you get down to the module, you should see a part number on the top that begins with "77960-....." Use that number to find yourself a replacement.
Which light specifically? The main airbag diagnostic light or the passenger presence indicator light? The main diagnostic airbag light you see in your instrument cluster should only remain on when there is a problem with the airbag system.
David, If the car was in an accident, you can use our module reset service and seat belt service. We have an article addressing your question: myairbags.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115012408547-Can-I-drive-my-car-truck-while-the-airbag-module-is-removed-
Myles, The first step is to diagnose the airbag light. Hook up the scan tool / scanner to the car and read the airbag codes. You connect the scan tool right into the OBD port/plug. Its usually located below the steering wheel, on the left. You are welcome to reply to us with the trouble code that it reads.
Victor, the only way to properly diagnose the airbag light is to use a scanner / scan tool to read the codes. Sometimes body shops and auto parts stores will offer diagnostics for free.
Here’s a question for you guys: how do you pull the codes that the SRS module is throwing? I’ve replaced almost the whole system and it’s still giving me the light on the cluster

If your vehicle was in an accident then it will have crash history in the airbag module that needs to be sent to myairbags.com to be reset. But, if the vehicle was not in an accident and light just came on one day or you did some work on your car and then the light came on, it will be best to check all wiring and then if light still on, have it scanned with a diagnostic scan tool for codes.
Gharib, Read the airbag codes with a scanner / scan tool via your OBDII. If you can reply with the codes, we help narrow down the airbag light problem.
@Luis M Sanchez , Yes the Event Data Recorder is the same as the Airbag / SRS contol unit. If you need the SRS module/unit reset due to an accident, we can reset it for you. Our customers use our site to place their Service orders: www.myairbags.com

For my honda accord 2008 v6, the srs code shows up always, the passenger side airbag off light shows up always.... the seat belt light has disappeared and it doesn't work anymore when braking. there was no accident happened to my car, I remember this happened after changed the battery. What could be the problem?

1. NOTE: Refer to the correct removal and installation procedure for all SRS components being installed. When any deployable device or combination of devices have deployed and/or the airbag control module (ACM/RCM) has DTC 5-1 in memory, the repair of the vehicle SRS is to include the removal of all deployed devices and the installation of new deployable devices, the removal and installation of new impact sensors and the removal and installation of a new ACM/RCM. DTCs must be cleared from all required modules after repairs are carried out. Vehicles with Occupant Classification Sensor (OCS) system 2. NOTE: After installation of new Occupant Classification Sensor (OCS) components, carry out the Occupant Classification Sensor (OCS) System Reset procedure as instructed in the workshop manual. Refer to the appropriate workshop manual for OCS system removal and installation procedure. When a vehicle has been involved in a collision and the Occupant Classification System Module (OCSM) has DTC 5-1 stored in memory, the repair of the OCS system is to include the following procedures for the specified system: For rail-type OCS system, inspect the passenger side floorpan for damage and repair as necessary. Install new OCS system rails. Do not install a new OCSM unless DTC 5-1 cannot be cleared. For weight sensor bolt-type OCS system, inspect the passenger side floorpan for damage and repair as necessary. Install a new seat track with OCS system weight sensor bolts. DTC must be cleared from the OCSM before carrying out Occupant Classification Sensor (OCS) System Reset. Do not install a new OCSM unless DTC 5-1 cannot be cleared. For bladder-type OCS system, inspect for damage and repair as necessary. If installation of an OCS system component is required, an OCS system service kit must be installed.

@@MyAirbags code 5-1 you mentioned and the code 53-30 showed up on my car means the same thing? I don't really quite understand the note you posted here. Can you reset the airbag module if I sent it to you?

You’re right Ronin. I just spent WAAAY more time taking mine out and also had to use a few extra tools. A smaller ratchet set and a Philips screwdriver to take off the plastic piece on the passenger side since there’s not a lot of room to work. That bold on the driver side is a pain because your ratchet is close to the gas pedal which is another reason I had to use a smaller ratchet. Glad I finally got it out though.
