Working on it, it's too cold at the moment. In principle yes it's possible, I have to do the calculation for the resistance of the airbag firing element, I have tested it with a variable resistance but the value was very low and difficult to measure accurately. I think something like a 6 volt torch bulb will do the job of replacing the airbag. There also the pins marked as "shorting bars" on the SRS ECU that may do the job. I have hard "airbag fired" fault which cannot be re-set with Faultmate etc, so to be sure how it all works I have to either open up the SRS ECU and find out how to re-set it or replace it. Got to be done before the MOT in April.
I will post the results when it's all sorted.

Take the bulb out?
Taking one or both bulbs out triggers the "Airbag Fault" message on the message centre.

Stick masking tape over message. Sorted.
Unfortunately, masking tape is not message selective and blanks all the interesting messages as well as the one you don't want

Probably don't need to say go careful J, if would be painful if you pop an airbag in the face
NO multimeters on the airbags connections

If the airbags you took out are still in date, you might get £20 or more each for them on Ebay.

If the SRS light is on and you have a bloody message saying airbag fault it's a fail according to my testing station

That would be in Francland. Over here SRS is not part of MOT the lamps can glow as brightly as they want to.
