Need my SRS module reset
 
Does anyone here know where I can send out an SRS module for a reset?
Also, approximately what might this cost?

No. If it did, then companies like the ones you get when you Google this would be out of business.

You have to go to the stealership for a scan and reset.

If he's had an airbag deployment, and needs the SRS module repaired? Good luck finding a dealer anywhere that can reset that.

Phil@rise, you may be a sponsor.. but you're an idiot sometimes.

Sometimes?
Aside from that minor oversight where does he say there was an SRS deployment?

Easy to do. Any independent shop worth anything would have the ability to reset your SRS light.

Although it would help if you said what car it was and why it's on.

I've reset countless SRS lights, many from stereo installers who made the mistake of turning on the ignition while they had a seat out (and the seat had an airbag) or had a door panel off (also with airbag) while doing a big installation. Also just as many from body shops.

Many airbag controllers can have up to two collisions before the module needs to be replaced. Some become inoperable even after a single collision. It really depends on the vehicle, but controllers that need replacement are becomeing less common (really, there's no reason to discard a controller other than manufacturers wanting even more money from insurance companies when repairing a vehicle with airbag deployment).

The OP obviously knows that it's not just the SRS light to be reset... otherwise the question would be "where can I take my vehicle to get the SRS light reset?"

The OP wants to know where to send the SRS module itself.. the only reason it would need a reset is if it were involved in a collision... and it's probably from a vehicle that's hard to find a replacement module from the wreckers (or, more likely around here, that the wreckers won't sell him *just* the module... but the whole bag set with it).
