It means that the PAD switch indicator bulb circuit has incorrect resistance. In other words, either the PAD switch module is unplugged or the bulb is burned out.

but i plugged it back in and tried to cross the bulb to see if the light would go off but it didnt......so can you just not cross it, or do you need to reset the computer afterwards? but i got nothing across the bulb, ill be picking a new one up tomorrow and ill get my boss to do it hes good with that stuff and i dont wanna mess it up

No need to reset. The RCM will check the bulb circuit resistance and not turn on the airbag light if it is OK.

I'd rather have an airbag deploy on me with some chemical burns and a bruised chest than leaving my face on the steering wheel and dash board or be ejected in a roll over and have the vehicle land on top of me.
I'm not saying you believe this. But people who dislike airbags....that's all they have against them.
