The exist SRS controller has intermittent fault the mechanics said it has to be replaced.
I would like to ask that If I replace with a good one, do I have to use scanner such as Tech II to remove the fault code from the old bad set or no need to do that?
Thank you very much.

You can't just slap a used module in there. They are programmed to the vehicle.

I don't believe the Tech 2 is capable of doing that.

You purchase a brand new module. New ones sometimes don't require programming. You need to ask your dealer.
