No.

Out of 13 or whatever of these salvage 86s now only one had door lock/etc issues and it was a fuse that was blown.

My track FRS doesn't have impact sensors/airbags/etc. Doors lock/unlock fine. All the cars when still wrecked with blown bags and unreset ABS modules, doors lock/unlock fine.

If you want to eliminate the SRS system as a cause simply unplug the SRS module. It's behind and under the HVAC controls. I had a badly reset module before in a car and whenever it was plugged in it made the CANBUS go crazy. Door locks worked but a whole bunch of crap (including the starter 49 out of 50 times) would not. Unplugged it and everything else was fine again. So if the SRS module is causing CANBUS confusion unplugging it will stop it.

We traced that down with Techstream - well sort of. We detected that non of the modules would talk to either techstream and my good OBD tool and just unplugged crap until the problem went away...
