Ram Airbag Module Reset — $75 flat
Ram 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.
Ram 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 Ram
What we reset on a Ram
Ram trucks use the Mopar ORC family. After a deployment the module locks and the truck fails inspection with the light on; our bench reset clears the crash record from your original controller — no dealer visit, no used-module VIN mismatch.
Where it lives: on the transmission tunnel under the center console. Disconnect the battery, wait 10+ minutes, photograph the connectors, unbolt and ship just the module.

Ram reset questions
How much does the dealer charge instead?
A new module is typically $350–$1,200 in parts depending on the Ram 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 ORC on my Ram?
Typically on the transmission 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 Ram 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.
