I just had this happen. The airbag light came on in my '04 Tiburon, I took it to the dealer and they determined it was part of the seat belt mechanism that was defective. After replacing everything was fine, light went off. AIR BAG light is a warning that there is a malfunction in the SRS (supplemental restraint system) or air bag system. The seat belt triggered it because the air bag computer uses the seat belt to determine if someone is in the seat and therefore if it needs to deploy the air bag in low speed situations. It will almost always deploy the airbag in high speed situations, regardless of seatbelt use or not.
