hasn't only been happening while you've had the ODBII cable connected for data logging has it? mine seems to do that sometimes then will go away once I disconnect it...

Have you got anything loose under your seat, it may have jiggled the cable about…..

mate the cars stock no cables no where

just came on outta no where. went away once i turn car off but now its on all the time

subaru they need to diagnose the problem which apparently cost alot charging 155 per hour plus parts if need

mine always comes on when i change the drivers seat position. The cables under the seat aren't long enough and can come dislodged if the seat is moved. While the car is turned off make sure that all the connectors are in firmly and then start the car. The airbag light generally stays on while it initiates and then goes off. Hopefully after a jiggle of the connections under there it will sort it out.

I had a similar issue with the drivers seat belt pretensioner (it needed to get replaced) and another occasion the wires under the back of the passenger seat were knocked around. Subaru's so called diagnostics (which is bull because they can't test to see what circuit is causing the issue) is to look at each part and sometimes replace and test each part. I ended up turning the car off, playing with the seat belts, or playing with the wires under the seats, or moving the seats around or the steering wheel (all individually) and turning the car back on to work out what the issue was by trial and error, I did it a few times before the light stayed off.
On another note, when my reverse sensor module was bumped and the wires were loose it played havoc with the car and the airbag light came on then too, so our car's (or just mine) can be temperamental when it comes to the wiring and playing with it.
