Kia Airbag Module Reset — $75 flat
Kia calls it the SRS Control Module (SRSCM). 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.
Kia dealer: new SRSCM typically $350–$1,200 + programming + the wait for the part
Auto Module Lab: $75 flat — your original module, already matched to your Kia
What we reset on a Kia
Kia SRSCMs share the Hyundai architecture and the same post-crash lock. We reset the original module at the chip level so it reinstalls with zero configuration.
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.

Kia reset questions
How much does the dealer charge instead?
A new module is typically $350–$1,200 in parts depending on the Kia model, plus installation and programming labor. Our bench reset of your original is a flat $75, with 24–48 hour bench turnaround.
Where is the SRSCM on my Kia?
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 Kia airbag light off?
Yes — when the light is caused by stored crash data or hard faults in the SRSCM, 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.
