Airbag Warning Light

Hi All

The red light indicating a problem with the airbag has come on and won't go out.
Before I take it into the service center in Hong Kong to have them tell me it's fixed and find out later that they have just removed the glob ( true story from a friend who had a simular problem with another warning light ) I was wondering if anyone could give me an idea of what the problem could be and what would have to be done to fix it.

Thanks

I also have the air bag light, but I don't have the airbag checking tool. The passenger seatbelt is twisted 180 degrees, I don't know how it happened, but I never really cared to twisted back into place. I think I will have to take the panels apart to get to the seatbelt. I noticed both the airbag light and the twisted seatbelt at the same time, so I assume it is the reason. Do you think so too?

that is the wrong tool. fcx is only for engine codes. you need r5/srs

i don't have the book in front of me, so offhand i don't know if there's a separate sensor at the seatbelt spool. but the sensor at the buckle is completely different.
