Things to Note:
  • Removing the SRS unit can be a complex process and may vary in difficulty depending on your vehicle make and model. If you're not comfortable with basic tools and mechanical work, we recommend seeking assistance from a professional mechanic.
  • The SRS unit may also be referred to as the SDM module, airbag control module, SRS module, or airbag computer.
Tools You'll Need:
  • Trim removal tools
  • Varying size dockets and wrenches
  • Screwdrivers
  • Screwdriver bits
  • Torx bits (may be required for some modules)
Step 1: Determine the SRS Unit Location
The SRS unit location varies by vehicle make and model. Common locations include:
  • Under the dashboard between the driver and passenger footwells
  • Under the driver or passenger front seat
  • In the center console between the two front seats
Consult your vehicle's repair manual or search online for specific instructions. Our team at My Safety Belts is also happy to assist with locating the SRS unit.
Step 2: Disconnect the Battery
Disconnect the negative and positive cables from the battery and wait at least 3-5 minutes before beginning the SRS unit removal procedure. This is a standard industry practice to prevent accidental airbag or seat belt deployment.
Step 3: Remove the Trim
Use trim removal tools to carefully remove trim pieces and access the SRS unit. Be mindful of hidden screws or bolts and take note of plastic retainers and clips.
Step 4: Unplug the SRS Unit
Verify the battery is disconnected and unplug the connectors going into the module. Make note of where each connector plugs in. Some connectors may have security tabs that need to be disengaged before unplugging.
Step 5: Send the SRS Unit in for a Reset
Once you've removed the SRS unit, send it to our facility at My Safety Belts. Our expert technicians will use proprietary software to clear the crash data and reset the module to its factory condition.
Installation and Reassembly
Installation of the SRS unit is typically in the reverse order of removal. Before reconnecting the battery, ensure all defective SRS components are replaced and properly installed.
