air bag light staying on

[vxdriver11]

hey.....can anyone help me,
my air bag light has come on and is staying on while im driving although it only beeps once when car has first started. i noticed it this afternoon and it was the first time id driven the car today. i only just bought the car a few weeks ago and have never had air bags before so i dont know much about them. i called my local holden dealer and he told me it would be $85 just to see what the problem was.....what could be wrong and whats the most im looking at to spend. also does it have to be done through a holden dealer. im a bit worried its going to deploy......is it safe to drive if the lights on??? the car is a 2002 vx commodore acclaim s2

I just answered this same post in the general heading.Anyway, heres what I posted there as well..You will need to see someone with a scantool that can access the SRS systems to find out whats actually going on . When the SRS module detects a problem in the system, it will log a certain SRS error code depending on what the problem actually is.The scantool can access these error codes which then gives you an idea as to what the problem may be.
