New-fit only: our policy on airbag parts
We don't supply or fit airbags or pre-tensioners — that part of the repair stays with you, your garage or your bodyshop. Our work is the module itself: crash data reset, coding and verification. And we never work with used airbags or used pre-tensioners: pyrotechnic parts can't be verified, so it's new parts only. Your safety system is not the place to save a few pounds on a component with an unknown history.
Where a used module has already been fitted by someone else and the vehicle now shows faults, we will diagnose the system honestly and explain what a correct, safe repair looks like.
02
Crash data reset, explained
When an airbag deploys, the module records the event. Even after the damaged components are replaced, that stored crash data can keep the warning light on and stop the system from arming correctly.
A crash data reset clears the stored event from the module so the system can be verified and returned to service. It is a precise, bench-level job done on your specific module rather than a generic software fix.
03
Virginising, coding and SRS verification
Some repairs need a module virginising: returning it to a factory-new software state so it can be coded to the vehicle afresh. Others need coding to pair the module with the rest of the system after a repair.
Once the module work is complete and the components are fitted, the SRS system is verified with dealer-level diagnostics to confirm it is working correctly before the vehicle goes back on the road. That verification step is part of every job, not an optional extra.
04
Working with bodyshops
We work with bodyshops across Medway and Kent on accident-repair jobs: the panel and paint work stays with you, and the airbag module work comes to us. Fast turnaround matters after a repair, so we agree the timescale up front and keep you informed.
Private owners are equally welcome. If your car has been repaired but the airbag light will not go out, send us the registration and we will tell you what the module needs.
05
An honest note on coverage
Airbag module work covers a very wide range of vehicles, but coverage varies by make, model and part number. We check your specific module and confirm honestly what is possible before any work is agreed.
06
Areas covered
Kent Eco Tuning is a local, independent specialist based in Medway. The mobile service covers Chatham, Rochester, Gillingham, Strood, Rainham and the wider Medway towns, along with Maidstone, Ashford, Dartford, Gravesend, Canterbury, Thanet and across Kent. Airbag module work needs bench time, so you can post your module in to us, or we'll come to you — convenient for you and your bodyshop.

Airbag module FAQs
08
Do you fit used airbags or pre-tensioners?
Fitting isn't our side of the job. New airbags and pre-tensioners are fitted by you, your garage or your bodyshop — we handle the module: crash data reset, coding and verification. We never work with used pyrotechnic parts, because they can't be verified. New parts only.
09
Why is my airbag light still on after the repair?
The module stores the crash event, and that stored data keeps the warning light on until it is cleared. A crash data reset clears the stored event so the system can be verified and returned to service.
10
Do you verify the SRS system afterwards?
Yes. Once the module work is complete and the components are fitted, the SRS system is verified with dealer-level diagnostics to confirm everything is working correctly before the vehicle goes back on the road.
