TachoSoft Airbag Resetter V6.4 is a PC-based software application designed to read, erase, and reprogram crash data stored in the EEPROM and microcontroller (MCU) of airbag modules. Unlike generic OBD2 scanners that only clear diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), TachoSoft V6.4 works at the chip level. It connects directly to the module via an external programmer (such as Carprog, UPA-USB, XPROG, or similar) and performs a binary reset of the crash event.
Version 6.4 is a specific, widely-distributed release known for its stability, extensive vehicle database, and support for both older CAN bus systems and newer modules.

Even experienced users encounter issues. Here’s how to solve frequent V6.4 problems: TachoSoft Airbag Resetter V6
| Error Message | Likely Cause | Solution | |---------------|--------------|----------| | No response from programmer | Wrong COM port or driver | Change COM port in Device Manager; reinstall drivers | | Chip not recognized | Incorrect chip selection | Manually check chip markings; use auto-detect if available | | Checksum error after write | Corrupt original dump | Restore backup and use “Fix Checksum” tool before writing | | Airbag light still on after reset | Module has physical damage or incomplete erase | Check crash sensors, seatbelt pretensioners; run secondary reset | | Software crashes on Windows 10 | Compatibility mode needed | Run as Windows 7, administrator, and disable Data Execution Prevention (DEP) for the .exe |
TachoSoft Airbag Resetter v6.4 is not a standalone piece of software. It is a specialized utility within the broader TachoSoft Professional Suite, aimed at one specific, high-stakes task: clearing crash data from airbag control modules (ACMs) and restoring them to a "virgin" or reusable state. Warning: TachoSoft v6
Unlike generic OBD2 scanners that only read/clear fault codes, v6.4 operates at the microcontroller (MCU) and EEPROM level. It directly reads, modifies, or rewrites the serial memory chip inside the airbag module—bypassing the module's standard diagnostic interface when necessary.
Key distinction: This is not for clearing diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs). It is for resetting the permanent non-volatile memory that records crash events, seatbelt pre-tensioner firing, and deployment status.
