SRS Fault Following EIS Renewal

[jgl1]

2003 S500 (220.175) with 115K miles... EIS inoperative at temperatures below 50 deg F.

Installed new EIS (PN 220 545 09 08) and coded it with vehicle-specific "blue" key (000 905 00 99 9999).

Now SRS warning appears in IC at startup; fault code check reveals code 9077... "VIN in control module N2/7 (SRS) and N73 (EIS [EZS]) are not identical."
Fault did not exist prior to installation of the replacement EIS.


Query of the new EIS reveals "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" stored as VIN.

Can this fault be corrected with a dealer's SDS or does a new EIS need to be installed and coded?
