Preconditions

  • If the car happens to have a collision, the late SRS units are recording certain live values before and during the collision. These values are stored in so-called Crash event storage memory. This memory is locked until a proper diagnosis and repair is done at a garage.
  • This is to assure the safety of the car after the repair.
  • The Clear crash memory procedure removes this lock. It is mandatory that all DTCs (except this lock) are properly cleared (i.e. all airbags and other safety related componets) replaced.
  • If you do NOT know what you are doing, do NOT continue!

Procedure

  • Get all inflated airbags and other safety related components replaced with the new parts.
  • Ignition ON.
  • Start the "SRS Clear crash memory" procedure.
  • Clear DTCs.

Recommended

  • Put the battery charger on the car.
