2014 Toyota Camry SRS module reuse after airbag deployment
Collision shop saved customer $400 with $75 SRS clear
The problem
A Las Vegas collision shop was rebuilding a 2014 Camry after a moderate front-end collision. New driver + passenger inflators installed, clockspring replaced, but the SRS module had stored deployment data and the airbag light wouldn't clear.
What other shops said
OEM replacement SRS module from Toyota dealer: $480. Aftermarket OEM-equivalent: $290 (and the shop had been burned before by aftermarket SRS modules with intermittent fault flags).
What we did
Shop shipped just the SRS module (not the inflators). We bench-cleared the stored crash data via EEPROM rewrite — no physical state of the module changed, just the deployment record. Verified clean self-test on the bench. 18 hours total turnaround.
Outcome
Module reinstalled, key-on cleared the warning light, full self-test passed. Customer got their car back on schedule. Shop billed the customer the original quoted amount for collision repair — the $75 SRS clear vs $480 replacement was pure margin.
“$75 clear vs $480 module on every collision rebuild adds up fast. We send 4-5 SRS modules to AML every month.”— Collision tech, Las Vegas NV (verified)
