Airbag Module Reset

Restore Safety Systems Without Dealer Delays

Lock Around the Clock 24/7 performs airbag module resets on-site in Albuquerque after collisions or fault codes trigger your dashboard warning light.

Your airbag light stays on after a fender bender in Albuquerque, and the dealership quotes you a week-long wait plus the cost of a new module. In many cases, the module itself is not damaged and only needs to be reset after the collision data is cleared. That reset requires professional-grade diagnostic tools and knowledge of how airbag systems store crash information, but it does not require you to order parts or leave your car at a shop for days.

Lock Around the Clock 24/7 brings the tools and technical capability directly to your location in Albuquerque. We connect to your vehicle's onboard computer, read the stored fault codes, and reset the airbag module after confirming that no physical damage prevents the system from functioning safely. This process restores your vehicle's safety systems without the delays that come from dealership scheduling or parts ordering, and it works with many domestic and foreign vehicle makes.

If your airbag warning light is on and you want same-day service in Albuquerque, contact Lock Around the Clock 24/7 to schedule an on-site diagnostic.

How the Reset Process Works on Your Vehicle

We arrive at your home, office, or parking lot in Albuquerque with a laptop and OBD-II scanner designed for airbag system diagnostics. After connecting to your vehicle's diagnostic port, we retrieve the fault codes that triggered the warning light and review the crash data stored in the airbag control module. If the module is functioning correctly and no sensors or wiring are damaged, we clear the codes and reset the system.

Once the reset is complete, your airbag warning light turns off, and the system is ready to deploy in the event of a future collision. You will also regain full functionality of any related safety features that were disabled while the fault code was active. The module no longer stores old crash data, and your dashboard returns to normal operation.

This service is a faster alternative to module replacement when the hardware is still intact. If diagnostics reveal physical damage to the module, sensors, or wiring, we will explain what needs repair before the reset can be performed. Lock Around the Clock 24/7 provides mobile service across central New Mexico, and this is a direct-pay service with no insurance billing.

Common concerns before booking a reset

Most drivers want to know whether their airbag system is safe to reset and what will happen if the warning light comes back on. These are the questions we answer most often during the diagnostic process.

What causes the airbag light to stay on after a minor collision?
Even low-speed impacts can trigger crash sensors that store fault codes in the airbag module. The light stays on until those codes are cleared using a professional diagnostic tool, even if no airbags deployed.
How long does the reset take?
Most airbag module resets in Albuquerque take less than an hour, including diagnostics and code clearing. The process is faster if no additional repairs are needed.
Will the light come back on after the reset?
If the module and sensors are functioning correctly, the light will stay off. If it returns, that usually means there is an unresolved issue with wiring, sensors, or the module itself that needs repair.
Can you reset the module if the airbags deployed?
No. If airbags deployed, the module must be replaced along with the airbags and any damaged sensors. A reset only works when the hardware is intact and the fault codes are the only issue.
What vehicles are compatible with this service?
Lock Around the Clock 24/7 works with most domestic and foreign vehicle makes, though some older or heavily modified vehicles may require specialized equipment. We confirm compatibility during the initial contact.
