Hi,

I doubt if the airbag deployed or the car would'nt have been classed as a cat d.

The most common fault on these is a poor connection under the front seats.
Look under the seats and look at the connections. If you can, pull the connection apart, and gently wiggle the wires about and then reconnect the plugs. Turn on the ignition and see if the light now goes out. If not, try it another time on both seats and then recheck.

If light still on, you will need a diagnostic check to find out what is preventing the light from going out.
