mercedes w204 c220 cdi sport
hi every1 I was wondering if any1 out there can help me I have a 2008 w204 c220 cdi sport saloon
it had the half leather seats in it, I had the usual problem with the seat splitting on the drivers side
I brought a full leather seat set out of a 2012(w204) of eBay, after fitting the seats and resetting all the seats with a snap on computer
the passenger seat airbag light is on and the dash displays
front left malfunction consult workshop
the fault code on the reader is B1C1F13
have reset it many times and the fault keeps coming back
the seat occupied recognition (front Passenger) open circuit
can anyone tell me how to fix this please many thanks in advance
 
Yes, you'll either need to remove and replace the damaged occupancy sensor or fool it with some dodgy electronics.

It's not an uncommon fault, but it looks like a bit of a faffy job to me (haven'd had to do it yet).

Personally I think you're better-off replacing the occupancy sensor, but if you hardly ever have a passenger the box of tricks might be an easier option.
 
Just a heads up got the problem sorted changed the seat occupancy mat cleared the faults on OBD and hey presto no faults
hope this helps someone

If I understand correctly you tried to fit post-facelift seats into a pre-facelift car?
