Hello and thanks for using Just Answer. The Airbag light can be on for several reasons. It could be a bad impact sensor, a bad clockspring, a bad airbag itself, an electrical issue. Sometimes you can have an intermittent problem with the system and just clearing the code will get rid of it indefenitely or it could instantly come back. To get to the bottom of it it needs to be scanned for trouble codes to begin diagnostics. BUT if you really want to try something for yourself, if its an intermittent malfunction, disconnecting the battery for a minute may or may not turn the light off. Good luck and hope this helps.
