There are several possibilities. You could try re-seating the connectors on the control unit and safing sensor that is under the console.

You could also run the self diagnostic and count the blinks of the light. I'm not sure if the 7 blinks you get are the same as 7 blinks from the self diagnostic.

For the self diagnostic procedure, it starts on page 95 in section BF of the service manual.

Location of the air bag system components is on page 86 of the same section.

Whatever you do, if you mess around with the airbags whilst chasing down the issue, even just unplugging and replugging something, disconnect the battery. Anything airbag/SRS related it's best to disconnect that battery!

You do not want to inadvertently detonate an airbag directly into your face. It'll ruin your day with a quickness. It's not very common even if you ignored all safety precautions, but it does happen and guys have been seriously injured and even killed!

You can try a reset procedure, I did a write up a few years ago. It's here if you search.
If you have a real issue the reset won't fix it, but if it is just a glitch it will.
