Airbag replacement
New here. Got into a bit of a fender bender in a 08 Escape and a few bags were deployed (both curtains and driver seat).
I'm technically inclined but have never dealt with such situation before. I can purchase replacement bags. Is it plug and play from there or do I also need to get the SRS module reprogrammed (or replaced)?
Any input is greatly appreciated

Here's some info on the side curtain airbag.
Item Part Number Description
1 042D94 Safety canopy module
2 W711248 Safety canopy bolts (5 required)
3 — Safety canopy module tether bracket upper bolt (part of 042D95)
4 — Safety canopy module electrical connector (part of 14A005)
5 W500213 Safety canopy module bolts near the ignitor (2 required)
6 — A-pillar tether pin-type retainer (part of 042D95)
7 — A-pillar tether bolt (part of 042D95)

WARNING: Always carry or place a live safety canopy, or side air curtain module, with the module and tear seam pointed away from your body. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury or death in the event of an accidental deployment.
WARNING: Anytime the safety canopy or side air curtain module has deployed, a new headliner and new A-, B- and C-pillar upper trim panels and attaching hardware must be installed. Remove any other damaged components and hardware and install new components and hardware as needed. Failure to follow these instructions may result in the safety canopy or side air curtain module deploying incorrectly and increases the risk of serious personal injury or death in a crash.
WARNING: When installing a new headliner on a vehicle equipped with safety canopy or side air curtain modules, make sure the headliner has the word AIRBAG on the headliner where it meets each B-pillar trim panel. Otherwise, you have the wrong headliner. Failure to follow this instruction may result in the safety canopy or side air curtain module not deploying or deploying incorrectly, increasing the risk of personal injury or death in a crash.
WARNING: Before installing a safety canopy or side air curtain module, inspect the roofline for any damage. If necessary, the sheet metal must be reworked to its original condition and structural integrity. Install new fasteners if damaged and remove foreign material. Failure to follow these instructions may result in the safety canopy or side air curtain deploying incorrectly, which increases the risk of serious personal injury or death in a crash.
WARNING: Make sure no one is in the vehicle and there is nothing blocking or placed in front of any air bag module when the battery is connected. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury in the event of an accidental deployment.
WARNING: Do not obstruct or place objects in the deployment path of the safety canopy or side air curtain module. Failure to follow this instruction may result in the safety canopy or side air curtain module deploying incorrectly and increases the risk of serious personal injury or death in a crash.
WARNING: Never put any type of fastener or tie strap around any part of a safety canopy module, side air curtain module or interior trim panel. This will prevent the safety canopy or side air curtain module from deploying correctly. Failure to follow this instruction may increase the risk of serious personal injury or death in a crash.
WARNING: Never probe the electrical connectors on air bag, safety canopy or side air curtain modules. Failure to follow this instruction may result in the accidental deployment of these modules, which increases the risk of serious personal injury or death.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of accidental deployment, do not use any memory saver devices. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury or death.
WARNING: Always use new torque-prevailing type J-nuts when installing the safety canopy in the vehicle. Use of these J-nuts is mandatory to reduce the risk of loss of fastener effectiveness. Failure to follow this instruction may result in the safety canopy module deploying incorrectly and increases the risk of serious personal injury or death in a crash.
NOTE: There are different safety canopy modules for vehicles equipped with a moon roof and vehicles without a moon roof. The safety canopy modules are NOT interchangeable. If installing a new safety canopy module, the correct safety canopy module MUST be installed for the vehicle application.
NOTE: The air bag warning indicator illuminates when the restraints control module (RCM) fuse is removed and the ignition switch is ON. This is normal operation and does not indicate a supplemental restraint system (SRS) fault.
NOTE: The supplemental restraint system (SRS) must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.
NOTE: Repair is made by installing a new part only. If the new part does not correct the condition, install the original part and carry out the diagnostic procedure again.
NOTE: RH side safety canopy module shown, LH side similar.
Depower the SRS. For additional information, refer to Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Depowering and Repowering.
Remove the headliner. For additional information, refer to Section 501-05.
Detach the A-pillar tether pin-type retainer from the A-pillar.
NOTE: If equipped with a moonroof and/or rear window wiper assembly, note position and routing of the moonroof front drain hose and/or rear window washer solvent hose for installation purposes.
Remove the A-pillar tether bolt.
Remove the 2 safety canopy module bolts located near the top of the A- and B-pillars.

That's some good info. Thanks for that.
It mentions depowering and repowering the SRS module after installation. Does it need to be reprogrammed or reflashed or will it automatically reset the codes and everything?
