happened to me a while back. Read the code and the front left or right airbag crash sensor went bad. As i understand it they are NLA and very expensive. I bought a resistor kit that is an easy plug in to the system and turns the light off. Be careful though because it also disables ALL your airbags. try this thread

Mine came on this past week as well, along with the seat belt light. Near as I can tell, the only way to reset is with a Hammer Tool. Some folks have found the cause to be corrosion on a connector that once cleaned, solved the problem, some folks have found the problem to be within the clock that once re-soldered, solved the problem. I am hoping mine turns out to be that type of simple fix.
I'd like to have/keep operational air bags and I'm going to be bummed if the system can no longer be fixed due to a lack of available parts.

The suggested life span of an airbag is ten years, I dont know about you but I never felt comfortable having a 27 year old explosive charge pointed at my chest/face. I disabled mine with bridge plug available at dealer and put in a Momo wheel. The only way to turn off the warning light, as mentioned above is with the Bosch Hammer or equivalent.. Most of the parts are available but are super expensive, I read somewhere that Audi/VW or Mercedes parts can be fitted and they are not cheap either.

Had issues with seatbelt and airbag lights. After having them reset twice took my clock and speedometer to Seattle Speedometer and had the clock repaired and the speedometer gear replaced. No more lights, it has been several months with out any problems.
