SRS codes after crash/rebuild

Hey folks, First time poster here, need a little info, if possible.

I have a 2007 Trailblazer LT that I have basically rebuilt (performed a body, body harness, and ENTIRE interior swap) with my crashed 2008 SS. So, now it's a "pseudo-SS" I guess.

Anyways, everything is running fine, just have to confirm whether or not I have fixed all the SRS stuff before I send the module to MyAirbags.com to get the crash hard-codes cleared. FYI: I had a side impact in the SS, it blew the side-curtain bags and the seat pre-tensioners, Front airbags did not deploy.
I have replaced the seatbelt units & the side-curtain airbags, but I'm not sure if the 2007 door sensors are jiving with the 2008 airbag control unit.

I used an Innova 3150d code reader, these are the 5 codes I get now that return immediately after clearing:

B0051 (I am under the impression this says "airbag deployment command sent" and is a hard-code)
B0078
B0077
B0042
B0022

As the 3150 (loaner) did not have the enhanced data for the car, it did not give me further info.

Also, if anyone has any questions about what the body-swap entailed, please feel free to ask!

Welcome to the Nation :tiphat:

You should start a thread on this swap. Sounds interesting. Love to see more pics.
 
OK, well I figured it out myself:

B0051 ( "airbag deployment command sent" and is a hard-code)
B0078 -Passenger side door impact sensor problem
B0077 -Driver side door impact sensor problem
B0042 -Driver Airbag primary error
B0022 -Driver airbag secondary error

B0051: This must be cleared by a third-party tech, I'm using "myairbags.com" The code says it has commanded a deployment, the dealer usually replaces the module but that's unnessesary.

B0078: I didn't have the sensor in the door at all (my stupid) swapped out the door harness, installed the sensor :all fixed.
B0077: Driver's side, refer to above. Fixed.
B0042 and B0022 are interesting, I broke my clock spring, when I replaced & reassembled it, I didn't bother to put the yellow clips back on the 2 terminals (Primary & Secondary) directly on the back of the airbag, I found another thread where the codes were happening on a Tahoe and that was the fix. Popped the bag off, installed the 2 clips (they actually align the pins)

I hope this information helps someone.

Oh, and to bypass the side-impact air bags, you need to cut the harness going to the bags and put a 2.45 to 3 ohm resistor across it (it can be a combination of resistors, I used 4, 10 Ohm in parallel, I also soldered a 5 amp fuse in-line, so if there is a deploy command, it will just blow the fuses and not roast the resistors.
Before people jump down my throat regarding the above procedure, My side curtains were blown when I crashed my 2008 1SS, I moved everything to a new body (2007 LT) and there are no provisions to mount side curtain airbags, plus being a 2007, there is no requirement.
