Unless, you really know what you're doing, I wouldn't touch it. To bo on the safe side I would disconnect the airbag function before doing anything like that.

One can fashion a shorting plug out of an airbag harness by shorting the two connectors together. If you plug this into an airbag, it should be nearly impossible to set it off.

You short circuit WHILE IT IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE CAR.
Else static electricity can set it off. When you purchase a new airbag it comes with an antistatic tape over the terminal(s).
