Honda / Acura - U3000 Internal Failure of SRS Airbag Control Module

[@ryanh3285]

Great video Was that a brand new unit or from another car and did it need coding to the car.

[@martynauto8089]

it was from parts car, it only needed copying of data from old unit to new one

[@JohnSmith-lc4ub]

How did you copy old data to new module didn’t see you do that in vid unless misssed it?

[@martynauto8089]

I used a MCU / EEPROM programmer. Had to desolder the chip from both SRS ECUs and manually copy the data. If you need such procedure done I can do it for you

[@liarios8651]

So the solution prior to the occupant sensor calibration, was mostly due to you installing a brand new srs module?

[@martynauto8089]

Yes, because if SRS Control Module fails all of a sudden it will shows either "internal failure" or "no communication". usually it's the cpu microcontroller that fails on Hondas / Acuras often. otherwise if its just crash data from an accident it will just need crash cleared in the SRS Control Module

[@liarios8651]

Oh I see. Because I have 2 sra modules from a 2015 Ford Focus that have had the crash data removed, one was cloned from a virgin module. But they both are showinge the u3000 code. But when I install an srs module from a clean vehicle that hasn't been in a crash, it does work and shows no u3000 code

Wat code did u have?i have 2012 civic si..internal failire srs unit code

[@moeakawi1826]

I HAVE SAME CODE

“U3000: internal failure”

[@albertgiles5128]

Need to get the module reset or it could be bad module

[@martynauto8089]

@@albertgiles5128 the Internal failure code came up while car was driven. Reset is only needed when car has crash data from an accident.

What kind of scanner you are using

[@martynauto8089]

Any scanner that has dealership capabilities should be able to do it. They usually cost $1k and up. Plus you need external mcu and eeprom programmer to copy the data
