Grand Cherokee restraint parts do not cross generations, so a WK2 wheel airbag will not fit a WJ, and the WL that arrived for 2021 changed them again. Other Jeep airbags are listed, but no Grand Cherokee parts are listed at this time, so send the year and the part through request a part or call 501-988-0611 and we will check availability. The mail-in reset and belt rebuild cover every Grand Cherokee from the WJ forward, using the module already in your vehicle.
The Grand Cherokee runs the Mopar airbag computer it shares with Ram, Dodge, and Chrysler, the ORC, or Occupant Restraint Controller. It tests each airbag squib circuit at startup, fires the airbags and seat belt pretensioners in a crash, and writes a permanent deployment record into memory. That stored crash event is what holds your airbag module reset hostage and keeps the airbag light on after a collision.
The data lives inside the ORC, so a generic OBD2 scanner cannot erase it. Clear a Grand Cherokee hard code with a code reader and it comes right back. We reset your original Grand Cherokee ORC in our shop, wipe the stored crash data and hard codes, and send it back reading factory-ready. It plugs straight back in. A dealer would otherwise sell you a new ORC and initialize it with a factory scan tool, which is the expensive way to solve a problem your own module can solve.
On the Grand Cherokee the ORC sits under the center console between the front seats, beneath the storage bin area, mounted to the floor on the transmission tunnel. It is held by three nuts on the studs of a steel bracket welded to the tunnel, the Mopar floor-tunnel three-nut mount shared across the Ram, Dodge, and Jeep lines.
You pull the console trim to reach it. Disconnect and isolate the negative battery cable and wait about two minutes for the system 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, straighten the bracket before reinstalling.

The ORC has carried the Grand Cherokee restraint system across the WJ, WK, WK2, and the current WL platform. We reset the module and rebuild the belts on all of them.
The Grand Cherokee uses the Mopar B-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.
We reset your original Grand Cherokee 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 Grand Cherokee 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 Grand Cherokee 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 SUV is safe.
A dealer wants to sell you a new ORC and initialize it with a factory scan tool. We restore the one already in your Jeep. It is your original Mopar part, your original calibration, back for a fraction of the cost of a new module.
Same ORC, same two repairs. Here are a few more we work on, or jump back to the Jeep airbag service hub. The Dodge Durango rides on the same bones and gets the same service.
Mail us your original Grand Cherokee ORC or seat belt. We clear the crash data, rebuild the pretensioner, and ship your factory part back ready to install.
