Post Pelvis airbag W212 remove option

Hello, can anyone help me with a solution for the following problem? I recently replaced the seats in an E250 W212 that were partially electric with fully electric ones taken from a C200 W204. I made the changes in the CGW and the seats work normally but the installed seats do not have a pelvis airbag. In the SRS module I coded the driver/passenger pelvis option as off but I still have an error on the board regarding these airbags. Somehow even after I unlock the SRS module, code it, lock it back and reset it the error reappears. The module remains coded so the coding is not deleted after a restart but … I think there is still some module that could know that those airbags do not exist although they should. Thanks.

Pelvis airbag is physically located under dash not inside the seat.

Thanks for your time, but you're wrong ... you're referring to knee airbag, that one is located under the dashboard. Pelvis airbag or 291 PELVISBAG is located in lower part of the front seats. One for the driver, and one for passenger. Those are the one that need be disabled.

Trick the pelvis airbag wire with suitable resistor. Usually 2 ohms or something like that.
See ohms value of the old pelvis air bag. No need coding....
