Replacing Airbag Unit

[andyroo]

I've had a search and I know HOW to do it, but not what happens WHEN its been replaced.

So: If you replace the airbag unit with a different one, will it work or does stuff have to be reprogrammed?

Cheers peeps

Needs to be reprogrammed I think from memory.

Can anyone else confirm this? If it is correct, how much does it cost to reprogramme? (I already have the unit)

 

[edde]

Yep just checked needs programming.

Just for future reference, I disconeccted the battery, replaced the airbag unit, connected battery up again and the airbag light DID NOT stay on! It all worked fine, straight swap, no reprogramming needed.

Yay!
