Thanks again for the time you spend to write the answers !
As long as you disconnect the battery before disconnecting the airbag you will be fine from a safety standpoint. The error codes for the SRS ECU can be reset with a simple procedure, if you did log a code while having the seat disconnected. Once the errors are cleared no one would be able to detect that there had been an error in the past. Installing the resistor prevents the error from being logged, so doing so keeps you from even needing to do the reset.
