Hopefully it isn't a bad clock spring. You will need a new clock spring and special tools to remove the steering wheel and horn/air bag.

DTC B1001 is an indication that the restraints ID's stored in both the IPC and SDM do not match or that the VIN's stored in both the PCM and SDM do not match. If either the IPC and/or PCM were replaced, the replacement modules need to be reprogrammed for proper operation.

Does that mean a trip to the dealer ? what is the IPC ? and thanks !

Instrument Panel Cluster. SDM is Sensing and Diagnostic Module aka the air bag computer
A trip to the dealer should fix you right up
Have you done any recent work that might have affected anything mentioned in my previous post?

Just the engine replace ? would that effect it ?

I don't think so.
Basically what the dealer is gonna do is use the Tech 2 to verify the VIN number in the PCM matches the VIN number on the car. If not then they will program the correct VIN number into the PCM.
Or if the PCM and car VINs match, they will verify the "Restraints ID" number matches in the IPC and the SDM. If not they will use the Tech 2 to synchronize those 2 modules with the correct ID numbers.
If all of that doesn't work, they will have to replace the SDM to fix it.
