2003 Airbag Module Question

Hey everyone— my first post!

Working to resolve a few lingering issues on my truck (2003 Prerunner). Few months back, airbag light came on. I finally brought it in for a diagnostic check at my mechanic. He said airbag module assembly/ECU needs to be replaced. I just have two quick questions:

As far as I know the truck was never in an accident (bought used, nothing on vehicle history)— do these things actually go bad or is a necessary reset a more likely issue? I’m curious if the diagnostics would pick up a difference.

The other question is are these parts vehicle specific? Like do they share these with 4Runners, etc. I know they have specific part numbers, but looking on eBay for example, they all seem to be more commonly referred to by vehicle model/year/etc.

Thanks!

 

I would say they're all the same according to Toyota.
