Jeep Airbag Module Reset — $75 flat
Jeep calls it the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC). After a deployment it locks its crash data — the light stays on and no scan tool clears it. We reset your original module on the bench, 24–48 hours, plug-and-play on return.
Jeep dealer: new ORC typically $350–$1,200 + programming + the wait for the part
Auto Module Lab: $75 flat — your original module, already matched to your Jeep
What we reset on a Jeep
Jeep ORCs carry the same Mopar deployment lock as Chrysler and Dodge. The bench reset keeps your original, VIN-matched controller in the vehicle — the reason used-ORC swaps that "should have worked" don't.
Where it lives: on the floor tunnel under the center console. Disconnect the battery, wait 10+ minutes, photograph the connectors, unbolt and ship just the module.

Jeep reset questions
Where is the ORC on my Jeep?
Typically on the floor tunnel under the center console. Disconnect the battery and wait 10+ minutes before unplugging it, photograph the connectors, and ship just the module — see the packing instructions in your confirmation email.
Do you need my VIN?
It helps — add it at checkout and we verify the module matches your vehicle before the bench work. It's optional, but it catches mixed-up modules from body shops handling several cars.
Will clearing the crash data turn my Jeep airbag light off?
Yes — when the light is caused by stored crash data or hard faults in the ORC, clearing it removes the cause. You still need the rest of the system healthy: deployed airbags, blown seat-belt tensioners, or damaged impact sensors must be replaced or the light will return with live codes.
Is a reset safe? Will the airbags still work?
A reset returns the module to its pre-crash state — the same state it shipped in before the deployment. It does not alter the deployment logic. After reinstalling, the system self-tests on every key cycle exactly as designed. If we find internal damage that a reset can't make right, we tell you and refund instead of shipping back a module we wouldn't put in our own car.
