In order to read the EEPROM of the Delphi airbag module you will need the following connection to the Delphi airbag module through the CB106 cable of the AVDI
B+(Delphi airbag) -> B+ (external power supply)
GND (Delphi airbag) -> GND (external power supply)
CAN H (Delphi airbag) -> pin 1 (CB106 Abrites OBDII cable)
CAN L (Delphi airbag) -> pin 9 (CB106 Abrites OBDII cable)

In order to clear the crash data you will need to bridge these two point on the PCB of the airbag module and clear the DTCs:

Once you clear the DTCs , the crash data will be cleared and you can restore the PCB to its original form by removing the bridge and return the airbag module to the vehicle.
