If you previously had the same DTC and problem with the other air bag before you switched it for the one that is in there now then your problem probably isn't the Actual Air bag..

There is a Clock spring that is is located on your steering wheel that your air bag sits on when it is installed
Its job is to maintain a continuous electrical current to your airbag to insure the system is working properly until it is activated to engage your airbag..

You can either gamble on replacing the Clock spring assembly or you will have to take your car some place that has the SIR diagnostic tools to diagnose your problem..
They use a tool that hooks up to the Clock spring that sends a certain amount of Ohms through the wiring to see if the code clears and the Clock spring is bad..
Then if that checks out then the sensors in the front of the car have to be checked..
