Default Air Bag Question

The air bag icon does not appear on the dash when I turn on the key. Checked the fuse & it is good. Is it possible the dash light is out? I assume the other possibility is the AB is kaput.

If you have never pulled codes on your C5 here is how:

No codes for 58. Showed up as 58-8DM not SDM.
