Well, I took her to Tysons Corner Porsche, Va to get a 4-wheel alignment and had them check the airbag light.

I might be wrong, but I think if you disconnect the battery while the key is in the ignition, it will trip the airbag light.

Can you clear airbag codes with the OBD-II reader/reset device, or is it a totally different connector?
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Ok, the light was not on prior to shipping. Picked up in Miami, FL and delivered in Maryland. When off loaded in MD, the light was on?
Could the angle while being raised to the upper level in the truck cause it to trigger?

I might be wrong, but I think if you disconnect the battery while the key is in the ignition, it will trip the airbag light. Maybe the transport company did this? Regardless, you'll need to have a dealer tech reset it.
If the car is moved by the transport company the internal GPS is confused by the change of several 100 miles and since the car's seatbelt was not engaged ,then the warning light comes on because the car thinks it's being driven without the seatbelt being fastened.
Only kidding
Well, I took her to Tysons Corner Porsche, Va to get a 4-wheel alignment and had them check the airbag light. They said Lt and Rt seat belt buckles were showing bad and they could replace them for $800
.
So, after reading previous threads I purchased a Durametric and a can of DeoxIT contact cleaner. Just checked the airbag faults and there was a list...Lt/Rt Buckles, all side airbags, etc! Prior to playing with the durametric, I sprayed the buckles at the connectors under both seats and inside the buckles where the seat belt latches with the deoxit. After reading the faults, I cleared them and the airbag light is off
.
Only time will tell how long it lasts, but I've read that folks have had good results
!!
Projected savings...$500

I had CEL in my beater car (01 Hyunday Elantra w/40,000 miles) - I picked up a reader/clearer - I cleared my code and it never came back.
