    Are air bag controllers interchangeable?

    I may need to replace my controller and I'm not sure if any VR6 one will work or do I need to get one with matching numbers to the one that I already have?

    I would have thought that the numbers need to match?

    Thanks in advance

      Airbag light is on but vcds is unable to read the controller.

      Am arranging a replacement with matching numbers. See if that makes a difference.

          Ordered one from the UK with matching numbers for $30.

          See what happens...
