Mobile
Airbag reset.
Not a driveway van. For most people the flexible route is postal: keep the car where it is, send only the module.
What people mean by “mobile airbag reset”
The search usually means convenience. Someone has an airbag light, they do not want a dealer wait, and they do not want to leave the whole car somewhere for days. “Mobile” sounds like a technician will turn up on the drive and sort it.
We will be straight with you: that is not what we do. Crash data clears need a proper bench. The practical UK answer for most owners and garages is postal. You remove the module (or your garage does), post it to Universal Square, Devonshire St N, Manchester M12 6JH, and we return it cleared. The vehicle never has to travel.
Why a reset is needed in the first place
After a crash, or after some battery and electrical events, the airbag control module locks with stored data or a fault. Fitting new bags does not wipe that. Until the ECU is cleared, the warning light stays on. A mobile scan on the driveway rarely removes that lock, because the job is inside the module, not on the car’s OBD port.
That is why a specialist airbag module reset exists. The convenience people want from a “mobile” search is still there: you keep the car, you control the timing with your garage, and only a small parcel moves.
- Want the car to stay at home or at your local garage
- Quoted a call-out or dealer wait for a job that is really a bench clear
- Need a fixed public price instead of a mobile day-rate
- Trade shops that remove and refit modules for customers every week
What we are (and are not)
We do not
- Send a technician to your driveway
- Diagnose the whole car on site
- Charge call-out rates for a bench job

Airbag light stayed on after a minor shunt. Ordered the postal reset online, packed it up, and plugged it back in when it came home. Job done.

Needed a Ford airbag ECU cleared and was worried about buying the wrong reset. They checked the part number and talked me through it. No fuss.

Motorhome airbag light on a Fiat Ducato. They knew the module straight away. Posted it Friday, back early the next week. Really helpful lot.

Fixed public prices for the reset. Return shipping is chosen separately at checkout.

When the reset is done, we send your module back the way you choose at checkout. Royal Mail Tracked 24, Tracked 48, or free workshop collect if you are picking it up in Manchester. That return leg is separate from the reset price.
Mobile airbag reset FAQs
Do you send a mobile technician to my driveway?
No. We are a postal and workshop specialist, not a mobile van service. You (or your garage) remove the airbag module and send it to us. That keeps prices fixed and turnaround predictable.
Why do people search for mobile airbag reset?
They want convenience: no dealer wait, no leaving the whole car for days, and no hunting for a specialist who can clear crash data. Our postal process gives that flexibility. The car stays with you or your garage while only the ECU travels.
Is postal reset really more practical than a mobile van?
For crash data clears, yes for most people. A van visit still needs the module accessible, tools, and time on site. Posting the ECU to a dedicated bench means the specialist work happens properly, at a fixed public price, without a call-out diary.
How much is a postal airbag module reset?
Most resets are £35. Complex modules are £46. Motorhome B0100-49 is £65. Return shipping is chosen at checkout.
Can my local garage handle the removal for me?
Yes. Many customers ask their garage to unbolt the module, post it with the order number, and refit it when it returns. We work with private owners and trade every week.
Where do I send the module?
Airbag Reset UK, Universal Square, Devonshire St N, Manchester M12 6JH. Full packing notes are on our how-it-works page.
