Charger airbag parts

Dodge Charger airbags and seat belts, matched by year

Charger parts split at the 2011 redesign, so a 2008 wheel airbag and a 2015 wheel airbag are two different units and they are listed that way. No Charger parts are listed at this time, so submit the year and the part on request a part, or call 501-988-0611 and we will check availability. We also service Charger modules and belts by mail, reset the ORC, and rebuild the pretensioners.

ORC (Occupant Restraint Controller)

What the ORC does on your Charger

The Charger runs the Mopar airbag computer it shares with Ram, Chrysler, and Jeep, the ORC, or Occupant Restraint Controller. It monitors the readiness of the restraint system every time the ignition is in run, fires the airbags and seat belt pretensioners in a crash, and writes a permanent deployment record into memory. The ORC even carries a backup power supply so it can deploy the bags if the battery is torn loose in the impact. That stored crash event is what holds your airbag module reset hostage and keeps the airbag light on.

The data lives inside the ORC, so a generic OBD2 scanner cannot erase it. Clear a Charger hard code with a code reader and it comes right back. We reset your original Charger ORC in our shop, wipe the stored crash data and hard codes, and send it back reading factory-ready. It keeps its original Mopar coding and your VIN, so it plugs straight back into your car and works on the first key cycle.

Where it lives

Where the Charger ORC is located

On the LX-platform Charger the ORC sits on a mount on the floor panel transmission tunnel, behind the transmission gear selector and concealed below the center floor console. It is held by three nuts on the studs of a steel bracket welded to the top of the tunnel, the same floor-tunnel three-nut mount used across Mopar cars and trucks.

You pull the center console to reach it. Disconnect and isolate the negative battery cable and wait about two minutes for the backup capacitor to discharge before touching the restraint wiring. Then back off the three nuts, lift the ORC off the studs, and release the connector. If the floor took damage in the collision, make sure the bracket is straight before reinstalling.

Charger generations we cover

Every modern Charger from 2006 forward

The ORC has carried the Charger restraint system across the LX rear-drive sedan and into the new platform. We reset the module and rebuild the belts on all of them.

Charger airbag codes we clear every day

The Charger uses the Mopar B1Bxx-series squib codes on the ORC. Deployment and crash-data codes clear with a reset. Some flag a circuit or part. Scan yours and look it up first.

What we do for your Charger

Reset the module, rebuild the belts

We reset your original Charger ORC and clear the stored crash data so the airbag light goes out and stays out. We also rebuild the seat belts, single, dual, and triple-stage pretensioners on the Charger returned to factory operation, locked retractors freed, and worn webbing addressed. The belt side of the job is on our seat belt repair page.

We will always be straight with you: a module reset clears the stored crash codes, it does not repair physical damage. Your Charger has to be mechanically fixed and the airbags and belt hardware properly replaced before the restored module goes back in. We handle the electronics. You make sure the car is safe.

Why Charger owners mail it to us

A dealer wants to sell you a new ORC and initialize it with a factory scan tool. We restore the one already in your Charger. It is your original Mopar part, your original calibration, back for a fraction of the cost of a new module.

  • Your own Mopar ORC, restored and tested
  • Crash data fully cleared so the light stays off
  • Save up to 80% against a dealer replacement
