Just had same scenario on an 01 Focus, B1342 ECU failure, this is one of my cars,when I was looking into this the DEC only offers three options for programming,Country, right or left hand drive,and side airbags present?
Luckily, I had a donor vehicle in corner of yard with a dead engine with exactly same configuration with SRS components and the SRS ECU from that put the warning lamp out,I cannot see any reason why this replacement ECU would not fire the airbags,but it will only be me driving it,so unless I drive into a brick wall I wont know if this ECU works?
On another note,SRS components are time limited,usually to ten years,how many here are changing out airbags,pretensioners,side airbags etc etc because the service schedule said so? can you imagine customers reaction,2 grand to replace your srs system,no thanks, but that is what manufacturer reccomends??
