The manual provides the following for a 2005 (DTC B0083-B0088):-
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
• The SDM requests the instrument panel cluster (IPC) to illuminate the AIR BAG indicator.
• The SIR System is disabled and no deployments are allowed.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
• The condition for setting the DTC no longer exists.
• A history DTC will clear once 100 malfunction-free ignition cycles have occurred.
AIR BAG Indicator
The AIR BAG indicator, located in the IPC is used to notify the driver of SIR system malfunctions and to verify that the SDM is communicating with the IPC. When the ignition is turned ON, the SDM is supplied with ignition 1 voltage and requests the IPC to flash the AIR BAG indicator 7 times. While flashing the indicator, the SDM conducts test on all SIR system components and circuits. If no malfunctions are detected the SDM will communicate with the IPC through the class 2 serial data circuit and request the IPC to turn the AIR BAG indicator OFF. The SDM provides continuous monitoring of the air bag circuits by conducting a sequence of checks. If a malfunction is detected the SDM will store a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) and request the IPC to turn the AIR BAG indicator ON. The presence of a SIR system malfunction could result in non-deployment of the air bags. The AIR BAG indicator will remain ON until the malfunction has been repaired.
The above suggests you shouldn't have to do anything once the system is working correctly?
Perhaps retrieve the DTC to focus on where the fault lies (if any)

OK the Dorman parts that I purdhased do not work. I still have a fault code even if I switch sides.
I'm going to pull the new parts out and put the old one n and button it up.
I will fix the speedo and then put it up on the market for $27,900.
If intersested let me know.

You may be correct, but it could be something else 🥺
