Airbag ECU Reset After Accident

Airbag ECU Reset After Accident

After an impact, even a minor one, your vehicle's airbag ECU records a crash code that permanently locks it. Consequence: the airbags will no longer deploy, the SRS light remains on, and in many cases, your vehicle may even refuse to start until the ECU has been addressed.

At Incarline, we reset your original ECU to erase the crash data and fault codes recorded after deployment. Your module is restored to a like-new state, ready to be reinstalled in your vehicle — with no additional remapping required.

Why not replace with a new or used part?

• New dealer part: €500 to €1,500 depending on the model, plus mandatory programming
• Used part: high risk — these ECUs often already contain uncleared crash data from the previous accident vehicle, invisible to the naked eye
• Incarline reset: €149 incl. VAT, DHL pickup included, return within 24 to 48 business hours, 2-year warranty

How It Works

1. Order the service on our website (€149 incl. VAT)
2. Remove your airbag ECU (under the passenger seat or central console depending on the model) or book an appointment at the workshop
3. DHL collects the package from your location at the date and time you choose (pickup included in the price)

5. Return of your ECU by us, ready to reinstall — plug & play

Important Information

This service is intended for an ECU damaged by impact. If your ECU is physically destroyed (immersion, severe short circuit), contact us for a preliminary diagnosis.

The reset erases crash data in accordance with automotive electronics practices. The airbags themselves (cushions + pretensioned seatbelts) must be replaced by an authorized garage after deployment — we only work on the ECU.
