THANK YOU Sno White!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've lived with this damned air bag fault light for a year and a half. On then off, off then on. I was sure it was related to when I had the passenger seat folded forward. I pulled and greased all the under seat plugs, moved the seat forward, then back, nothing worked. No money to have the dealer go on a fishing expedition for hundreds of $'s. Lately the light would go on and stay on about 5 minutes in my drive, every time.
Following your directions and handy photo I pulled the kick panel, plugged and unplugged the yellow plug several times and the dreaded light is OFF. How does it feel to have irritating problem fixed for free after all this time? Damn good! Thanks again!

Sit in the front passenger seat. Swing your right foot to the right and kick that panel. That's the kick panel just in front of the door near the floor.
I found the kick panel in passenger side went to remove it The light went off and stayed off for some two weeks now atleast I know where the problem is in the future. HOORAH!!!

The white tab is difficult to release. It is anchored by a plug through a plate on the right side of the car, and can simply be popped off, then the yellow plug can be opened for inspection and cleaning. I sprayed it several times with a quality circuit cleaner, and reinstalled with no issue. That solved the problem.
