Auto Airbag System Repair: REPLACING AIR BAG, nissan sentra, website insurance

Question
IF I GO TO THE JUNK YARD TO REPLACE THE AIR BAG PIECE FOR A 2010 NISSAN SENTRA CAN IT BE A DIFFERENT YEAR?

Answer
April:

Airbag parts are very critical safety components and should not be taken lightly.  Under no circumstances would I recommend using salvage parts as you don;t know their history, their exposure to outside elements and do not have the manufacturers endorsement behind them.

There are specific items that are required replacement items when a deployment occurs or when an airbag light comes on...and there are some items that are "check only".  Check out the websites below for the EXACT answers to your questions including fault code charts and reset information. This site tells you exactly what needs to be replaced and how to access them (seat belts & all) on over 3500 cars.  It's a pay site ($14.95 / day), but it's little money well spent to get the correct answers and to see exactly what you're after...it uses pictures, not text, so you can see what you’re looking for and how it assembles.
This is the same website insurance companies and body shops use to determine what needs to be replaced.
