Ummm, I guess I didn't make myself clear enough.  This just happened last
week, pretty much right before Christmas.  Priority wise it sat a little low
on the list of things to take care of immediately but, I did say I was
taking it in this week.  I guess after bringing my cars in whenever the
"Service Engine" lamp wouldn't go out and finding out it was either a bad
connection or was programmed to remain lit after a certain period (i.e.50000
miles) and hearing the same from many others regarding the dreaded "Service
Engine" light I kinda don't go into panic mode when I see a light stay on
(excluding the temp and/or oil light--I prefer needle gages, actually).  As
far as seat belts go, yes I use them all the time.  But it wasn't always so.
I went for years without using them, and I remember when all cars didn't
have them.

Anyway, I was hoping on hearing from someone that has experience with this
particular light remaining on so when I do take it in I may have a little
forewarning of what he will find.

Thanks, and still looking for helpful comments.

In fact, the combination of airbag and a seat belt that is not used could
in some cases be more dangerous than a car without airbag. If You have a
low speed (a speed that would normally only cause none or minor injury even
without airbag) collision the airbag itself can kill You if You don´t use
the seatbelt.
