Page 5 of that pdf explains the VIN code, 10th character will be either S, T or V for 95, 96 and 97 MY respectively. I know you said it's a 96 car but it could be a late 95MY registration that had lurked in a showroom for several months.

That sounds suspiciously like the pretensioner that's at fault, or the wiring to it. Might be worth checking that you reconnected it, if you did that it has gone fully home in the connector and generally check for broken wiring.
If the fault is still present, the fault code won't reset at all or if it does, will only be momentary until the system does a self check.
As for jerry-rigging the warning lights, it's all very well until you do that and a fault appears on the other system you've slaved from. Had a car once where the ABS warning light would come on with the engine management light - was a right pain when a Lambda sensor failed during the MoT as it threw up an ABS fault apparently.
