Only issue is, there are NO pictures and I have NO idea how to find this "The Diagnostic port can be found inside the cabin in/under the crash padding on the drivers side, in the corner between the dash crash padding and the kick panel. (Well, sort of) It has the connection designations indicated on the lid."

So just to get the procedure right..
I need to connect wires in the places that those red and blue ones are. Then I need to connect a wire to ground (unsure on how to do this, but I'll read up). Then touch the red and the blue to ground (alternating) for the period of time specified in here: http://home.vicnet.net.au/~pgscott/dashrepair/dashrepair.htm
EditL By ground does it actually mean I need a grounded wire, or simply just hit the cable on the ground I'm standing on. I guess I could just hook up a wire to E1 like it says... haha

Chris , best way is to set up a 3 way switch , run the two outside wires the way Dave said (Red & Blue ) then the middle wire from switch run it to a good Earth (Ground) and no not what your standing on but on the door hing bolt or anything you know had a good earth . Then toggle from left to right at a good speed to stop in the middle . This has always worked for me . May have to do it a few times just to get the speed right on the switch .This will work if there is nothing wrong with the AB itself.

If its the only thing holding you back from getting the car registered, take out the instrument cluster and take out the globe behind the airbag symbol. Temporary fix only. Because it will still mean you wont have an airbag in a serious head on crash. But at least it will get you past inspection and you can fix this later.
