Electrics: - airbag service urgent,engine service required

Posted a question last week with regards to a warning stating engine service required, which came on during a 30 mile trip stayed on for about 2 miles then went off. same thing happened on Monday on trip to legoland, stayed on for about 5 miles then went off, car ran fine etc, so i booked it in our local garage, ( general garage, but very good and reliable), My wife waited and they took it out said it drove fine so no point putting it on daignostic, but she insisted, so they took it in workshop and about 5 mins later they came out and said that the warning light had come on with the message, airbag service required, urgent and this has stayed on ever since, it is now booked into a local volvo independent dealer in Charlwood, to read the codes. Is this a coincidence or does anyone think they may have triggered the code as i read on previous threads that possible electrical work could cause this. As for the engine service required, hopefully the code reader will pick this up, any thoughts please as if the warning was triggered by them they can foot the bill for resetting it. Thanks all.
