The same thing happened to me a few years back, took it to the dealer and even they couldn't figure it out so what I did was disconnect the battey completely and removed all the wires in the ground terminals and hot terminals (red box) and cleaned the posts with a wire brush and electrical cleaner. Put everything back together and it solved the problem.

I had this problem... I can't remember what the part is called but it's right behind the steering wheel... it's **** to going out over time.. It requires the removal of airbag and wheeland then it's right there... replace and re assemble... if you talk to your dealership they will probably know what i'm talking about..

It's called a clock spring.

But the only way to know for sure is to have a shop pull codes for the system to see why it set a light.

dah... that would be it... I believe they can test it with would removing it... should cost one hour at the dealer... you'll have to pay this fee regardless...

Airbag light on = Airbags disabled.

again, have a shop check teh codes to find what the problem is. Sounds like a clock spring to me but you will never know untill you find out.
