Default '99 FB airbag light on, code B0051

I just bought the car and don't have any history on it or a repair manual for it yet. Reading in a '96 Sunfire manual I have it says that code indicates the airbag went off at some time and the only way to clear the code is to replace the control unit. A scan tool won't reset the light. Does that sound right? The airbags are fine so I assume they were replaced.

Yes it does. It's under the center console.

Good call, that did it. Got a control unit and they threw in an airbag on eBay for $26 delivered.
