Hi

I have a 2004 roadster, an auto electrician diagnosed the airbag control module had failed. I purchased on on Ebay and have fitted it. The same auto electrician could not clear the codes on their generick machine... My question is; does it need to be cleared on a chrysler specific computer or does the new module need to be "Paired to the cars computer" or something?

Feeling a little stressed; all the work was for nothing

Cheers

Rick

 

Rick, welcome to the forum !
I google mapped your location, what a lovely place !
As to the air bag light, everything I have ever read says that ONLY the Chrysler stealership can reset it, sorry.

 

Yes it is a nice place to live and work (I'm in IT - SEO) the view from my office is great :-)

Ok so i'll book it in at the dealership in Auckland; thanks for your help.

 

Dr. George (ALA_XFIRE) is correct. It requires a DRBIII unit to clear that code and reset the air bag light. Suggest that you ask your Chrysler dealer if they still have the equipment on hand to work on Crossfires before you make the trip over there with your car.

 

Thanks Red Dog, good advice

 

Hi Guy's

so I went to Chrysler (After many phone calls and "advice") and they discovered that the part, although an identical part number had one extra feature loaded when it was in the previous car. That was it had a key switch to turn the passenger airbag off in case you had a child restraint there. This means that they could not reset it because the car module was looking for this switch. Chrysler tells me I need to get another controller module with only the exact features my crossfire has.

If it were a brand new module they would just program it to the features the car has! I fail to see why there is no way to just wipe it's memory and start again!?

Any ideas or do I need to do it all again :-(

Cheers

Rick

 

2 things, 2004 Roadster? And maybe you could just add the switch to your car to make the controller think everything is OK?

 

yeah 2004 roadster, I did ask about that. I wondered if the wiring loom is set for it. The Chrysler guy did not know either.

 

Any luck with your airbag light. I'm having the same problem, my light just came on. I regret throwing the seat heater on the day before which I never used.

 

No luck yet, seems I need to order another airbag control module. Can't believe there is no way to reset them....
