Is it possible to reset airbag on Tesla Model 3/Y Airbag 1512876-00-E by OBDSTAR P50 or CGDI CG70 Airbag Reset Tool?

Tesla part number 1512876-00-E Overview:

The Tesla part number 1512876-00-E is the Restraint Control Module (RCM) or Airbag Control Module used in Tesla Model 3 and Model Y (common in 2023-2025 models). After a collision, this module stores crash data and must be reset or repaired to reactivate the airbag system.

Key Details:

Part Number: 1512876-00-E

MCU: R7F701330A (Encrypted)

1. OBDSTAR P50– Diagnostic Only

Can read and clear DTCs (Diagnostic Trouble Codes) but cannot perform a full crash data reset.

Limited to basic diagnostics; no repair capability for this module.

2. CGDI CG70– Diagnostic + Manual Repair Option

Software (Diag Only): Similar to OBDSTAR, the CG70 can read and clear fault codes in bench mode (recent software update supports this part number).

Manual Repair Service: While the CG70 software alone cannot reset crash data, CGDI’s technical team can manually repair the module.

Process:

• Read 95M01 EEPROM data
• Correct/reset crash data
• Unlock & read the R7F701330A MCU for further repair
• Write back repaired data via BENCH mode

Note: The module must be sent to CGDI’s factory for repair (paid service). Once repaired, it can be reinstalled in the vehicle without additional programming.

Conclusion:

For quick diagnostics, both OBDSTARand CG70 can read/clear codes.

For full crash reset, the CG70 offers a manual repair service (via CGDI’s team), while OBDSTAR does not.

No standalone tool currently supports direct crash reset for this module—professional intervention is required.
