AirBag Light On, Compiled Info need extra info if possible Options

[trdproven]

Going to check why all of a sudden my airbag light went on today. only thing I changed was the accent light bulb. This is the info I pulled out from the search function.

1. Air bag sensor up front, where is this located?
2. TC and E1 gives you the code
3. Someone else with the second O2 sensor plug came off and got the code, donno how this is related.
4. Can i just unplug and replug the yellow harness back into the airbag ECU?
5. I also see a yellow harness up front near the headlights, I assume this is the other end of where the airbag harness that goes to the sensor (maybe got loose)?
6. Pull out the SRS fuse but this is not a true fix or workaround, more like an ignore and doesn't fix the problem.
7. Someone posted this: Ignition / radio/cig lighter fuses. Here is what it actually says "WHEN THE IGNITION SW IS TURNED TO ACC OR ON, CURRENT FROM THE CIG & RAD FUSE FLOWS TO TERMINAL 14 OF THE
CENTER AIRBAG SENSOR ASSEMBLY. ONLY WHEN THE IGNITION SW IS ON DOES, CURRENT FROM THE IGN FUSE FLOWS TO
TERMINAL 13"

any additional info is gladly appreciated.

The airbag ECU is under the center console, if you want to check that. You CAN NOT unplug it while the battery is hooked up, otherwise the airbag will go off. And that's a whole load of other problems. Disconnect the battery before proceeding.

That is not true. The repair manual does say if you start working on the airbag system within 90 secs of having the car on or disconnecting the battery the airbags may deploy. That is more so while working with the front sensors, airbags and/or wiring. If you disconnect the airbag ECU all together nothing will work let alone the airbags actually deploying.

You should check the code first, then you can clear it to see if goes away or just comes back.
