Try coding 0471114 (I understand this is the donor car's coding).

Then clear the DTC.

Reset the seat occupancy.

Do the basic settings for the seat occupancy.

See what happens.

I think with 047114 the module is expecting a cut-off switch for the passenger side airbag. You know, the one you put your key in when you have a rear facing baby seat.

Do you have one?

Does the donor car?

Mine doesn't and I've pm'd the owner of the donor car to see if his does

Car is on charge now so giving it a rest until battery is back to strength.
Once it's charged will try again

Yeah, I saw that. Doesn't really give us much information. Doesn't seem to affect the occupancy issue. But might explain why you get the switch fault codes when you use the donor cars coding (assuming the donor car has one).

Also, I have read that you need to cycle the ignition after resetting. So maybe do this with your original coding of 0470114:

Then clear the DTC.

Reset the seat occupancy.

Cycle the ignition

Clear DTC

Do the basic settings for the seat occupancy.

Also, you might need to set adaption channels.

I think you need to set adaptation channels 003 and 004 to active because you now have side airbags.

Try the previous post first, then maybe set the adaptation and try it again if it doesn't work.

What do you mean by do the basic settings for seat occupancy?

Hmm ok
That table doesn't make sense to me as for instance my code ends in 4 but unless I'm interpreting it wrong the only options for the 7th digit is 2 or 7?

Unfortunately the table isn't complete. Hence the limited usefulness. It's pretty much what you posted up.

I posted that link to show the basic settings.

That explains the difference in coding then. I now believe you need to keep your original coding.
