was the curtain deployed? if so was it replaced? where was it replaced? did the dealer clear the codes?
well for sure you need the driver belt buckle(dont think that'll be covered if your car has a salvage title)
as far as the weight sensor youd might want to take it to the dealer to recalibrate it(if possible) if not then you'll neeed to shell out dough for new seat weight sensors(they're the seat rails)

yes the curtain was deployed and replaced with one from the junkyard. I replaced both front seats with ones from a 2008 tl type s. So you think I just need to have the dealer clear the codes? they dont go away by themselves when fixed?

i dont think srs codes erase on their on like pgmfi codes. so if you or your repair shop replaced them with junkyard components then head over to the dealer to calibrate the sws and clear the other srs codes. please note although very inexpensive srs components should be replaced new. i mean it is your safety and comming from a salvage yard, one doesnt know the history of the vehicle
good luck

is your left seatbelt locked/stuck? if it's not and gives you this code then you need to either replace it or put a resisor between 2-2.5ohm. on that seatbelt connector. Sometimes the seatbelts don't get stuck in accident and may look good eventhough it has been activated/exploded. The resistors tricks the computer so it will work like a good seatbelt, I'm not sure though if it will work next time you have an accident. I would suggest you to put a good seatbelt, resistors are just temporary methods.

Your RH curtain code says that the airbag is either bad or bad connection, most likely a bad connection, connectors if the airbag looks good.

Have the dealer reset the codes, the weight sensor code should go off, sometimes they come for no reasons so try a couple times to reset the airbag system. Yes, you need a scanner or the dealer to delete the codes, sometimes they will go off if everything is good but since you have the weight sensor code I don't think it will go on it's own.

P.S. Your airbag computer needs replaced or repaired whenever an airbag or seatbelt blows, (shows crash data code). These guys will repair for $60 (http://www.myairbags.com/) and will be just like new, I've been doing business with them for a couple of years now and they even help you troubleshoot further if you need just tell them the code.

Hope this will help

Good Luck
