CHERY Amulet Air bag cash Reset Chip Location

The Chery Amulet’s airbag system includes a control module, often referred to as the SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) module, which stores crash data in an EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) chip. This chip typically contains crash data and hard codes that need to be cleared to reset the airbag system.

Locating the SRS Module:

In the Chery Amulet, the SRS module is commonly located beneath the center console, between the front seats under the dashboard, or under the front driver or passenger seat. It is usually encased in metal and connected with a yellow plug, though some models may have a black plug.

Accessing and Resetting the EEPROM Chip:

1. Disconnect the Battery: Before working on the airbag system, disconnect the vehicle’s battery to prevent accidental airbag deployment.
2. Remove the SRS Module: Carefully remove the necessary interior panels to access and extract the SRS module from its location.
3. Open the Module Casing: Once removed, open the metal casing of the SRS module to expose the internal circuit board.
4. Identify the EEPROM Chip: Look for a small 8-pin surface-mounted chip on the circuit board; this is the EEPROM chip that stores crash data.
5. Reset the Chip: Resetting the crash data involves reprogramming or replacing the EEPROM chip, a process that requires specialized equipment and expertise. If you’re not experienced with electronic repairs, it’s advisable to seek professional assistance to ensure the airbag system functions correctly after the reset.
