I have a 2017 S550 and I've suddenly started getting an error, picture attached, that says I have a "front left malfunction, service required". I took it to MB and they told me my driver's seat occupancy sensor has malfunctioned. They also told me that there is no way to replace the sensor itself and I would have to replace the entire seat, which is a $5,000 part. I can probably find it used, but I would rather just replace the sensor if that is possible. Is that possible or was the service rep correct and I need an entirely new seat cushion?
I am drinking but I am fairly sure there is no such thing as a driver occupancy sensor mostly because the driver is needed for the car to move around.

Also drinking and sincerely wishing this was the case but there is a weight sensor in both front seats for some reason. It's on the diagram of the driver's seat, but I agree it makes no sense. I hope you're enjoying your drink!
Well it is there 2228700010
But mercedes part availability has gone to **** since covid, it's a replaceable part but shows no longer available.
Recommend used seat bottom, any color or options, the seat is completely dismantlelable.
Or you can request them to place a back order and reach out to Germany, some parts were listed as no longer available but they are now back.
I can 100% get a junkyard seat for the low low price of $800 but I don't want to replace the whole seat and have the colors mismatch due to different wear patterns and sun exposure... Call me petty if you must. But this looks like I could get the junkyard seat and pull the sensor. You concur?
Never heard of that pert before. Any chance a wire could have become loose or frayed:?? From the part#, it lookd fairly universal, so a seat from a C-class would work just fine. Might be worth a trip to the local salvage yard or the auction site.
No, that is a 222 part.
It is same left and right seat and it might hace been used by other models AFTER the 222 was developed so do check but it is not a generic part.
