NV Chuck here. My daughter had a bit of a wreck in her 2006 Ranger XLT FX4 Super Cab and both drivers’ side and passenger side airbags deployed. A local shop ran diagnostics and came up with codes: #B1231 RCM MODULE DATA FULL//AIR BAG MODULE//#B1932 DR’S AIR BAG AND CLOCK SPRING//#1933 PASSENGER AIR BAG//#1877 SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER PASSENGER SIDE//#B1881 SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER DR’S SIDE. Shop owner provided an estimate with NEW Ford parts ($$$-Ouch!). He said that the parts had to be Ford brand in order for all of them to “talk” to each other and to enable a successful system reset (also, for his repair to be compliant from a liability standpoint). I found a salvage Ranger with all those parts in it and for much less $. My question is: if I install these used Ford parts (RCM, bags, pretensioners, clock spring), will the shop be able to complete a successful system reset given that these used parts have a different VIN # associated with them?
