Service overview
GEM Electrical & Mechanical Repairs offers a professional crash data reset service for compatible Volvo V40 MK2 airbag/SRS control modules, including Volvo part number P31429510 / 31429510.
If your V40 has been involved in an accident and its SRS ECU has stored crash or deployment data, the original module may be suitable for resetting instead of replacement. Customers throughout the United Kingdom can post their original module to us for assessment and supported processing.
Compatible module and compatibility
For compatible Volvo V40 MK2, approximately 2012–2019, airbag/SRS control modules with Volvo part number 31429510 / P31429510. The supplied promotional reference is T160711170391; the clean module photograph shows T163211170743. These references must not be assumed interchangeable.
Compatibility must be confirmed from your actual module label, hardware and condition. Not every V40 built during these years uses this ECU. Compare your original identification with the product information and photographs, and send a clear photograph of the complete label before purchasing if unsure.

Before sending your module
Before removal, disconnect the vehicle battery and follow Volvo’s manufacturer safety procedures, including the specified waiting period. Have a suitably qualified technician remove and refit the SRS control module. Send only the electronic control module—not airbags, inflators or seat belt pretensioners.
Confirm delivery details for your order and use tracked postage. Do not send unrelated vehicle parts.
Turnaround
Fast processing where available. Ask for the current estimate before sending; timing depends on the module’s condition, support and workload. We will contact you before further action if the module cannot be processed safely.
Return delivery
You arrange and pay for inbound postage. The checkout return-shipment fee covers tracked return delivery, signature and packaging for parcels up to 2 kg. Review the available cover and final order total before purchasing.
Crash data reset addresses supported crash/event data stored in the module. It does not repair defective SRS components or guarantee that the airbag warning light will go out. Deployed or faulty airbags, seat belt pretensioners, impact sensors, damaged wiring, connector faults, occupancy sensors, low voltage, communication faults and other SRS diagnostic trouble codes require separate diagnosis and repair.
The vehicle must be correctly repaired after an accident before its airbag system is returned to service. After refitting, a qualified technician must perform the required diagnostic checks and any applicable coding, calibration or manufacturer procedures. Bench processing cannot verify the complete in-vehicle SRS system.
This service does not include
- A replacement airbag ECU or donor-module cloning
- Repair of water, fire, corrosion, PCB or connector damage
- Repair of external SRS components or unrelated fault codes
- Vehicle diagnosis, removal/refitting, coding or calibration
Terms and service limitations
This listing is for a crash data reset service performed on your original airbag/SRS control module. The photographed module is not supplied. A successful reset does not prove that every internal circuit or the complete vehicle SRS system is fault-free.
Our service terms and refund and returns policy apply. No additional warranty or guaranteed warning-light cure is promised by this listing.
Frequently asked questions
Am I buying an airbag ECU?
No. This is a reset service on your original module. The photographed module is for identification/reference only; no replacement ECU is supplied.
Will this clear every Volvo V40 airbag warning?
No. A supported reset removes stored crash/event data only. Remaining component, wiring, sensor, voltage or communication faults must be diagnosed and repaired separately.
Can I send my module from anywhere in the UK?
Yes. We accept postal enquiries and orders from England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Confirm your module identification and the delivery details before posting.
Can the original ECU be reused?
It may be reusable if it is electronically operational, compatible and suitable for the supported reset procedure. Physical damage or unsupported hardware may require a different solution.
What happens if my module cannot be reset?
We will contact you before taking further action if the module is unsupported or cannot be processed safely. The applicable service and return terms apply; a successful reset is not guaranteed.
