Arrow New user, 2002 camaro, help with my airbags if you would!

Hey guys,

New to the forum but not new to forums..
Hope this is the right section..

Was wondering if I could get some help with this car that I recently picked up..
Its a 2002 Camaro Z28 with 60K on it 6 speed manual..
I used this site and a couple others to help me change the spark plugs(Seriously, wtf is up with that last plug... I stared at the engine for a good 10 minutes thinking about how the hell I was going to reach it until I admitted defeat and hopped on the internet)

The airbags were deployed from a small hit to the front passenger side.
Very small damage I don't know why the airbags even deployed..

Anyways I got 2 new airbags and a new module and I installed them.
I went to clear the light and its giving a communication error. The seatbelt sensors are ok they know when they are plugged in or unplugged..

I have 2 theories on what's going on..

1. I have to replace an impact sensor on the front that I overlooked.. However looking at alldata and also the almighty google I think that everything is self contained in the module and there is no impact sensor?

2. The module came from a 2000 and my car is a 2002.. The seller said it would work tho.. Could this be the problem?

Thanks for the help guys!
Hope this is the right section!

Actually the module came from a 2001 camaro but the module is coming up as a 2000 when it's being read by the computer scanner
