Follow up: I replaced the ORC with a new unit and installed it myself. The procedure that worked was: Disconnect battery and wait several minutes. Replace the ORC. Reconnect battery. Turn ignition on and connect to the Airbag module with AlfaOBD. Clear DTCs in the Airbag module. Run...

Has anyone replaced and programmed an ORC (Occupant Restraint Controller) on a 2019+ DT Ram themselves? Is dealer programming required?

Post a photo of your truck with the bed full of something!

Let's see those fall backdrops!
