Default Air bag light

I just bought my TI a few weeks ago and one problem that I have is the air bag light comes on every time I start the car. After 2 minutes it goes away.

Any idea where I should look for?

Just had this not too long ago.
It was the driver's side seatbelt latch.
You need to have the dealer or someone with the Peake Research SRS tool read the fault code so you know what to fix.

What month and year was your car built? It never hurts to include this when you ask about your car and often helps people better answer your question.
