I'll be in the process of putting some aftermarket seats in my project car (another mig).  However these don't have airbags in the seats, and I would like to disabled the error warning on the seat side, but still have it working for the steering & passenger side airbag.

I'm assuming the small yellow two-wired plug is to do with the seat airbags, and if so, can anyone advise if I can put in a resister or diode, or what ever I need to fool the ecu into thinking the seats have airbags, and so cancel the airbag light.
If so, what would the resister/diode rating need to be ?.

I'm not into electronics so not too complicated with the explanation please - Thanks.

Another way to do it would be to replace the airbag e.c.u. (mounted in the centre of the car, under the centre console/armrest area), with one from a lower spec car that doesn't have seat airbags.

Spec as nothing todo with how many airbags the car as,all facelifts have four airbags,

Also, knowing GM, and the fact that Siemens make most, if not, all of GM's SRS systems I guess other models may have suitable systems.

This sounds like the way to go forward then. By using a pre miniface Airbag ecu.

I think the seatbelt pretensioners are different, so may not work...

each airbag circuit normally runs at about 2.5 ohms resistance.

Erm... didn't think about the pre-tensioners side of it.

Well, have nothing to lose by getting a spare yellow plug & putting a 2.5 resister across the leads, and see if the airbag light lights up.  If it does, guess I'll have to reset, and try something else.  :-?
