2002 Corolla Ecu-airbag Problem

[Broli929]

HI ALL!

I posted this topic/question in the electrics forum but got no reply there..so I will try my luck here now...

My 2002 Corolla was involved in an accident a few months ago and have been repairing it since then. Now it is almost fixed, however as the airbags (the one I have, has only two) came out, my electrician says that in some cars one should replace the ECU and ABS controller or else it might not work or even worse the airbags would come off again! Now I am not really an expert so I ask your advice and what you think. In order to fix my car I bought a half-cut corolla - same year, same engine. the only difference is that mine came with air-con and the half I bought didnt have one. if I had to change the ECU, can I use the one on the half? will this create some sort of problem (maybe because one has aircon and the other doesnt?). Some people tell that it might be enough to reset the car computer..some people tell me that I need to replace every control so I do not really kno what to do :S Hope that someone can help me.

In any case thanks very very much.

Mark
