ANSWER: Hi Joe:
Before I can help you, I need to know what kind of vehicle you are working on.

Answer
Hi Joe:
I'm sorry to say, when you removed the airbag and turned on the key, you set a code for an open circuit to the driver's side airbag.  The only way to clear that code on your vehicle is by using a scan tool (Mitsubishi or AIRBAG scan tool ONLY).
The airbag computer is different than the 'check engine' computer and requires a different scanner.
