Is it possible to completely disable the DAS on a 1996 W210 E300? Presumably this would have to be done by a dealership, but can even they do it?

Mine has a gremlin I just can't seem to shake. Last time this happened, several months ago, I attributed it to low battery voltage. (The charging system is fine, but the battery's resting voltage, even after a fresh charge, had dropped to about 12.2.) But it now has a new battery, so that shouldn't be the cause.

I would gladly pay a dealership's labor rate to exorcise this demon for good. Yes, I know that would make my 22-year-old car with cosmetic issues a prime target for thieves, but hey, I'll take that risk.
