Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
SRS Control Module (SRSCM)
1996 Hyundai Elantra L4-1.8LSECTION SRS Control Module (SRSCM)
The SRS airbag system has sophisticate electrical and electronic components, therefore the airbag operating components should be handled very carefully.
SRSCM (Supplemental Restraint System Control Module)
SRSCM determines to deploy the airbag module by sensing the frontal and side impact sensed by the sensor built in SRSCM.
Back-Up Power
The SRSCM reserves the energy supply to provide deployment energy for a short second when the vehicle voltage is low or if lost in a vehicle frontal crash.
Malfunction Detection
The SRSCM continuously monitors the current SRS operation status while the ignition key is turned on and detects the malfunction of the system. The malfunction can be displayed in the form of diagnostic trouble code using Scan tool.
Malfunction Recording
Once a fault occurred in the system SRSCM records the fault in the memory in the form of DTC and the DTC is erased only by Scan tool.
After firing the airbags once, the SRSCM cannot be used again and must be replaced.

When to See a Mechanic
Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:
- • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
