What Is Crash Data & Why It’s Important to Delete It Correctly

If your vehicle has been in a collision—big or small—it will store crash data inside the Airbag/SRS Control Module. This information includes airbag deployment, seatbelt activation, impact details, and fault codes. Crash data cannot be erased by normal diagnostic tools, and if it stays in the system, your vehicle may not be safe to drive.

What Is Crash Data?

Crash data (also called SRS crash data or accident memory) is automatically recorded during an impact. It helps with accident investigation and diagnostics, but after repairs, this data must be removed properly.

Why Is Crash Data Removal Important?

If crash data isn’t deleted correctly, it can cause:

• Airbags not deploying in a future crash

• SRS system malfunction

• Dashboard warning lights staying on

• MOT or safety check failures

• Lower resale value

• Insurance issues

This is why professional crash data deletion is critical.
