Maybe Honda does it differently. I've got a '99 Toyota sitting in my
driveway right now with an unplugged airbag. The SRS light never comes on
ever. And I even left the seatbelt pretensioners plugged in.

That is not correct.
The SRS indicator is designed to stay on solid if the indicator control
circuit is either shorted to ground or open.
A short to power on the same circuit WILL result in the SRS indicator never
coming on.
That means no bulb check sequence (on for 6 second, then off;if no problem
detected) when the IG switch is turned to the Run position.

Not necessarily. If you unplug the airbag ECU, the light will remain off.

You really can't tell if it's behind the cover without getting pretty
intrusive, but if the air bag isn't present the SRS light will stay on.

While looking at a 95 EX/LX in a dealer's lot, how can one verify
that there actually is an air bag behind the cover? IOW, can the
cover be easily removed and replaced in the dealer's lot by me? If
so, how? Thanks.
