SRS airbag code help - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Hey guys so I'm trying to repair my cars SRS system.

The back story
The passenger side roof airbag and the passenger side seat air bag deployed, also the passenger side seat belt locked up after an accident.

What I've done so far
I have replaced the passenger seat, passenger roof airbag, and have gotten the seat belt repaired by a seat belt repair shop. But now when I scan for the SRS codes via Autolink L619 SRS scan tool I'm getting 8 current codes, these codes are as follows.
-B16f1
-B11f6
-B1901
-B1821
-B1831
-B1693
-B1650
-B1655

Some of these codes are driver side errors even though the driver side was untouched and no airbags deployed on the driver side.

Does anyone have any ideas what I should be replacing?

Have you tried clearing them to see if the same codes re appear?

Yes I did, unfortunately they all still appear.

After accident error codes are "hard-coded" into airbag computer (it's behind HVAC controls) and cannot be removed via OBD. Officially SRS computer needs to be replaced by a new one (or one that was not involved in an accident). It is possible to reflash it, but it needs to be removed and brought to airbag shop that has tools to reflash firmware in it.

That's great info! Thank you. Now you wouldn't happen to know where that control module is located on the Frs would you?

Same as in BRZ, behind air conditioning control panel. To remove it you need to remove central console, all plastic parts around air conditioning controls and then control panel itself. Behind it you will see SRS control module with big yellow connector (it is held with few nuts).

Just send it in to get reflashed. Cost me $50 from srsmodule.com(pretty sure)

Did you send it to srsmodule.com? How long was the turn-around? Is it drivable without the module (obviously airbags will not work).

I used srsmodule.com, turn around was a couple weeks I think. Car" should" run without it but IMO, you're playing with fire. I guess racecars pull it out though

I wonder if the dealership could do it for me if I took it out and brought it in. Insurance is paying for it so I don't care what it costs. Did you try a dealership before deciding on srsmodule?
