Airbag light on after going fast

It has happened to me also, 08 manual coupe, clears on restart. Some say it might be a wire harness under the seat getting pinched or pressured by the seat frame? Couldn't find anything. It rarely happens, so I not going to worry about it. Do a search, it's not uncommon.

This is a common problem. There are many threads about this issue, including some excellent pictures. All you need to do is zip tie the yellow connector very tightly that is under the rear of each seat. Move the seat as forward as possible and you will see the connector.
Most never see the warning light ever again after doing this.

Mine had a bad sensor, and it would act up going fast, when you need protection most.
If taping the connector fixes it, it means you could have other bad connections in that connector. Personally, I would either fix/lube the pins in the connector, or get someone with the proper tools to do it.
And if it is under warrenty, get the dealer to resolve it.

I have 05, and lately when I start the car lights comes on, or when I am driving the light comes on, and if I shut-off the car and restart sometimes the light stays off.
Thanks guys going to look for yellow box.

FLAME RED, thank you also for your help
Friday went from Ft Lauderdale to the NCRS 211 miles away, and every time the road made the car bump, light came on, and hit another bump light went off.
At the show picked up ties, and tied them has you showed in picture. Drove home another 211 miles, and later last night went to local show, with another 55 miles on local street, with no light coming on, thank you, that light was annoying light.
You hit right on the nose.
Thanks
Sandy
