More than likely the lights involved are controlled by a relay. The steering column or dash switch that you turn on would energize the relay which would close it's (heavier duty) contacts to provide power to the lights. This is more reliable than having all the current (required for the lights) going thru a switch, which is usually are not capable of reliably handling high currents.

Check the wiring diagram, or get a manual from the dealer or Haynes to get a diagram. It could be that relay.

It is telling you that there is a problem with the airbag system. It is not likely to suddenly inflate but it probably will not work in a crash. Also if the problem is in the module it may keep the other air bags from deploying as well. Need to have it checked out at your dealer.
