Default Help identifying fault code 21 (airbag)

Hi all,
This code comes up when I hook up my PC based scan tool. It is in the airbag fault codes section of the software. I have always had the airbag light on as long at I’ve owned the car. I have a lot of the code information just not the for airbag section.
I would love to get rid of this light on the dash.

TIA

Thanks, Vinnie
Any idea how to correct it?
Repair or replace the crash sensor?

try unplugging both sensors, compare the ohm reading between the two, if the same, spray some contact cleaner in the plugs, plug back in and clear the code....if not, may need a new sensor....
