Land Rover Airbag Module Reset — $75 flat
Land Rover calls it the Restraints Control Module (RCM). 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.
Land Rover dealer: new RCM typically $350–$1,200 + programming + the wait for the part
Auto Module Lab: $75 flat — your original module, already matched to your Land Rover
What we reset on a Land Rover
Land Rover RCMs lock after a deployment and new modules are notoriously expensive and slow to land. The bench reset of your original is usually days faster than the parts order alone.
Where it lives: under the center console on the floor tunnel. Disconnect the battery, wait 10+ minutes, photograph the connectors, unbolt and ship just the module.

Land Rover reset questions
Where is the RCM on my Land Rover?
Typically under the center console on the floor tunnel. 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 Land Rover airbag light off?
Yes — when the light is caused by stored crash data or hard faults in the RCM, 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.
