Did you by any chance replace your seats? The stock seats have side airbags and removing them will turn the light on.
Does your horn work, also your cruise? If they are not working the problem may be the roll connector (also called a clock spring) in the steering column, although this usually happens only on higher mileage cars.
When the airbag light is on it means a diagnostic code has been stored that can be used to find the problem, you can either have a dealer scan for it or get the service manual and follow the procedure to read the code yourself.
