Default Airbag Light on Dash

We just received the car today and I have been getting an intermittent airbag light on the dash. I dont know if its coincidence but if it seems like when i move the driver seat back and forth is what sets the air bag light to turn on and off..

example:
i adjust seat all the way back to my liking.. turn off car.. turn back on and airbag light is on..
i adjust seat again turn car off.. turn back on.. light is gone..

strange..... If i hook up a reader to pull codes then does it tell me what airbag its throwing the code for?

Does your seat memory work? ie. does it beep if you press the "set" button together with memory 1 or 2 (while the key is in the ON position, park, and foot off the break pedal).

If you seat memory doesn't work I think you just hear the beep because the seat needs to be re-calibrated. Not sure why you see the airbag light though!

(btw. you can recalibrate the seats by moving them first totally backward and then totally forward)

Does anyone have a picture of where the sensor is located? I am guessing it might of came loose because I think they were fixing something on the back of the seat prior to me buying it.

Here you go....seat wiring & component diagrams. Position S26-LH. You should disconnect the negative terminal on the battery before working with the wiring components, wouldn't want you to detonate a squib and inflate an airbag.

I can't seem to figure this out. Does a code reader tell you which airbag is causing this?

Yes there are about 30 DTCs. They point to the SRS location and even a seat belt buckle switch malfunction, which is part of the SRS system.
