Continuing the fun funnn saga after the post deer slam driver side SIPS airbag deployment here...
The steering wheel airbag did NOT deploy, by the way--that would have been expensive, and I'd probably have had to scrap the car.
Today, I received my D5T5.com J2534 device. It works great, unlike the fake eBay crapware/clone DICE that I received earlier.
I pulled a reading of all outstanding codes. Below is a screenshot.
Ignore all non-SRS codes; I know why those are happening--easy fixes, will leave em for last.
I am wondering what my next steps are.
These DTC codes all appear to be resettable, though I have not yet done any erase procedures.
Do I understand correctly that I need to first get my SRS module reset/erased out of crash mode, by shipping it out to a company like SafetyRestore or MyAirbags? Next, after obtaining the reset SRS module, I should be able to open VIDA and reset the SRS DTC codes?
I base my assumptions to the above statement based on user tintin2005's post here:
(I also understand these DTCs would come back until I replaced the seatbelts and got a mechanic to replace the airbags--got a quote for $850 from one garage on Yelp*).+++ Remember that this procedure must be taken after SRS module been "Cleaned". +++
Just need to go to Falt detection, then click in Vehicle Comunication. Select CEM and click in General, Restore SRS.
A popup will appear, CEM - Colision Output State___ Activated. Just click in Restore SRS and popup message will change to CEM - Colision Output State___ Non Activated. And that is all.
Any and all pointers are much appreciated. Thank you!
*Unfortunately, and I tried many times, but I can't buy airbags in NYS, of all things...
Buy drugs and weed? no problem. Commit violent crimes and steal, then get out without bail? no problem.
But God forbid a fella tries to buy critical safety parts to fix his car--can't have that here!
