Default Airbag module

Got into a wreck with my 2016 Z06 and the airbag deployed. My ? is do i need a new module or after i replace the airbag can i just reset the module? watched a channel on youtube called goonzquad do a full rebuild on a 17 Z and they replaced the airbag and mentioned the module but never said what they did.

Just buy a new one. There's some people who claim they can clear out the permanent fault codes, but I wouldn't play games with something like this. You'll need to have someone program it too.

Google airbag module reprogram and there are places that do it cheap. I'm pretty sure the gds2 software can reset it as well

It's GM's diagnostic software. You have to have a subscription to use it but you can get a 2 day subscription fairly cheaply.

GDS2 can't clear airbag deployment codes. GM does not endorse re-using airbag controllers after a deployment.

Thanks. I knew you could use it to do the airbag serial number relearn on new ones but wasn't sure about reusing one. Probably better to just get a new one anyway.
