Air Bag light
Is there anyway to see what's wrong with the system without putting it on a Tech 2 or similar?
The airbag light is on and to my knowledge the car has never been in an accident.

I don't have a 95 or a 95 FSM but...
Read this post:

Navigate to module "A" and post the DTC(s) here, search on them, or look them up in your FSM.
FWIW section 8D-4 of the 94 FSM explains how to enter diagnostic mode and navigate to the DERM (module A) and read its codes too. Is it the same section in your 95 FSM?

Fairly easy procedure. Not actually covered in the 95 manual as they only tell how to use the scan tool.

Wow that was awesome! It was easy to do.. I was scared I was going to fry something but it actually worked LOL
Under my DERM system or Menu "A" I'm getting C26, H26, H35. I know C means it's active and H means it's in the history... but when I look up OBDI code lists from searching the forum I find that 26 means EVAP system which is obviously 26 under the "4" or PCM codes.
So does anyone know where I can find what 26 and 35 mean in the Airbag Computer?

The following is based on the 94 FSM YMMV
Look in your 95 FSM it may be section 9J like it is for 94.
DTC 26 module A means "Driver initiator circuit open"
DTC 35 module A means "Passenger loop energy reserve feed open"
For your current code, 26, you will want to check the connection to the driver's side airbag both at the bottom and inside the steering column.
With the battery disconnected, the headlights on, and the radio on:
Find the yellow two wire connector under the driver's side knee hush panel. Disconnect them and clean them with electric parts contact cleaner spray. Let them air dry and reconnect them. Reconnect the battery and see if the code moves to historical. If not then you will have to check inside the steering column and do the full SIR system tests.

I will let you know how it goes and really appreciate all the help you've provided me!
